(SHRI JAYANT CHAUDHARY)

- (a) & (b) Under the Government of India's Skill India Mission (SIM) , the Ministry of Skill Development and  Entrepreneurship  (MSDE)  delivers  skill,  re-skill  and  up-skill  training  through  an  extensive network of skill development centres / institutes etc. under various schemes, viz. Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana (PMKVY), Jan Sikhshan Sansthan (JSS), National Apprenticeship Promotion Scheme (NAPS) and Craftsman Training Scheme (CTS) through Industrial Training Institutes (ITIs), to all the sections of the society across the country including the State of Maharashtra and Uttar Pradesh. The SIM aims at enabling youth of India to get future ready, equipped with industry relevant skills.  The brief of these schemes is as under:

Pradhan  Mantri  Kaushal  Vikas  Yojana  (PMKVY): PMKVY  Scheme  is  for  imparting  skill development  training  through  Short-Term  Training  (STT)  and  up-skilling  and  re-skilling  through Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) to youth across the country including rural areas.

Jan Shikshan Sansthan (JSS) Scheme: The main target of the JSS is to impart vocational skills to the non-literates, neo-literates and the persons having rudimentary level of education and school dropouts upto 12th standard in the age group of 15-45 years, with due age relaxation in case of 'Divyangjan' and other deserving cases. Priority is given to Women, SC, ST, OBC and Minorities in the rural areas and urban low-income areas.

National Apprenticeship Promotion Scheme (NAPS): This Scheme is for promoting apprenticeship training and increasing the engagement of apprentices by providing financial support for payment of stipend to apprentices. Training consists of Basic Training and On-the-Job Training / Practical Training at workplace in the industry.

Craftsmen  Training  Scheme  (CTS): This  scheme  is  for  providing  long-term  training  through Industrial  Training  Institutes  (ITIs)  across  the  country.  The  ITIs  offer  a  range  of  vocational/skill training courses covering a large number of economic sectors with an objective to provide skilled workforce to the industry as well as self-employment of youth.

(c) & (d) District-wise number of candidates trained under the schemes of MSDE during last three years (2021-22 to 2023-24) in the States of  Maharashtra,  Uttar Pradesh and  Bihar is placed at Annexure-I.

Further, placements were tracked in the STT component of PMKVY in the first three versions of the scheme which is PMKVY 1.0, PMKVY 2.0 and PMKVY 3.0 implemented from FY 2015-16 to FY 2021-22.  Placement  is  delinked  from  PMKVY  4.0,  the  current  version  of  the  scheme  under implementation from FY 2022-23, onwards. District-wise number of candidates trained and reported placed under STT component during 2019-20, 2020-21 & 2021-22 in the States of Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh and Bihar is placed at Annexure-II.

Since  the  details  in  aforesaid  Annexure-I  and  II  are  too  lengthy,  these  have  been  uploaded  on Ministry's website at https://msde.gov.in/en/useful-links/parl-ques/lok-sabha

(e)  A robust and comprehensive assessment system is in place to accurately evaluate the skills and knowledge gained by candidates during the training process. After completing the training program, the  candidate  undergoes  a  meticulous  assessment  conducted  with  fairness  and  objectivity  by accredited Assessment Agencies. These agencies are recognized by National Council for Vocational Education and Training (NCVET). Upon  successfully  passing the  assessments, the  candidate  is awarded  a  certificate  by  an  Awarding  Body  approved  by  the  National  Council  for  Vocational Education and Training (NCVET).
