## ANSWER

## THE MINISTER OF STATE (INDEPENDENT CHARGE) IN THE MINISTRY OF SKILL DEVELOPMENT AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP

## (SHRI JAYANT CHAUDHARY)

(a) to  (c)  The  Directorate  General  of  Training  (DGT),  under  the  Ministry  of  Skill Development and Entrepreneurship (MSDE) implements the Craftsmen Training Scheme (CTS) through a country wide network of Industrial Training Institutes (ITIs) for skilling the youth of the country.

The Establishment and day to day administration of ITIs comes under the jurisdiction of the  respective  State  Government  and  UT  Administration,  while  the  policies  such  as setting the criterion for affiliation, conducting the examination along with certification and designing  curriculum  are  the  responsibilities  of  Central  Government.  Whenever  a proposal is received from the States/UTs for the setting up of new ITIs, it is examined and decided as per the affiliation standards and norms.

At present, there are 14,615 ITIs established across the country, out of which, 3,316 are Government ITIs and 11,299 are Private ITIs. In the State of Uttarakhand, there are a total of 174 ITIs established, out of which 103 are Government ITIs and 71 are Private ITIs. State-wise number of ITIs is available at Annexure-1 .

These ITIs conduct training in the courses for which they have been granted affiliation. If an  ITI  does  not  admit  trainees  for  a  significant  duration,  provisions  exist  in  the  DGT guidelines for initiating de-affiliation proceedings against the ITI. Accordingly, in January 2025, around 400 ITIs were de-affiliated, as they had not admitted any trainees during the last few academic sessions.

(d) Under the Craftsmen Training Scheme, in all the ITIs, around 1.37 crore candidates have been trained since 2014 session and till date. State-wise number of candidates trained since 2014 session till date is attached at Annexure-2 .
