## (SHRI DHARMENDRA PRADHAN)

- (a)         Under  the  Skill  India  Mission,  the  Ministry  of  Skill  Development  and  Entrepreneurship (MSDE) delivers Skilling, Re-Skilling and Up-Skilling services for the youth across the country, including women and those in rural areas, through an extensive network of skill development Centres/ Institutes under various schemes viz. Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana (PMKVY), Jan  Shikshan  Sansthan  (JSS),  National  Apprenticeship  Promotion  Scheme  (NAPS)  and Craftsmen Training Scheme (CTS) through Industrial Training Institutes (ITIs). Details of trained candidates under these schemes are at Annexure-I.

Apart from above, more than 20 Central Ministries are implementing skill development programmes through various schemes, such as Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Grameen Kaushalya Yojana (DDU-GKY),  the  Rural  Self  Employment  Training  Institutes (RSETI)  under  Ministry  of Rural  Development,  Deen  Dayal  Antyodaya  Yojana  -  National  Urban  Livelihood  Mission (NULM) under Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs etc.

- (b)         The  skill  development programmes of MSDE are demand driven. In order to fulfill the current  demand  of  skilling,  MSDE  has  taken  initiative  towards  establishment  of  model aspirational skill centres known as 'Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Kendra (PMKK)' in each and every district  of  the  country  to  provide  training  in  37  Sectors.  Additionally,  a  network  of  14,938  ITIs (Government and private) providing skill  training  in  over  33  Sectors  and  288  training  centres under JSS providing training in 11 sectors have been established.
- (c)  As  stated  above,  training  under  the  skill  development  programmes  is  provided  to  all  the sections of the society including women, with specific provisions for encouraging participation of women.  During last three years (2020-21 to 2022-23), women constituted about 34% of total candidates trained, under schemes of MSDE with share of women being as high as 81.05% and 46.43% under short term training programmes, namely JSS and PMKVY respectively.

Further,  National  Skill  Training  Institutes  (NSTIs)  also  offer  courses  under   Craft  Instructor Training Scheme (CITS) and Craftsmen Training Scheme (CTS) through 33 NSTIs across the country,  which  includes  19  NSTIs  which are  exclusively  for  women.     In  addition, 30% of  the seats in General Industrial Training Institutes (ITIs) are reserved for women trainees subject to the general reservation policy of the respective State.
