## STATEMENT  REFERRED  TO  IN  REPLY  TO  PARTS  (A)  TO  (C)  OF  LOK  SABHA STARRED  QUESTION  NO.*259  TO  BE  ANSWERED  ON  07.08.2023  ASKED  BY SHRIMATI SAJDA AHMED REGARDING SKILL DEVELOPMENT TRAINING.

(a)         The  Skill  India  Mission  (SIM)  of  the  Government  of  India  is  aimed  at  skilling,  reskilling  and  up-skilling  to  ensure  our  youth  are  prepared  for  the  large  number  of opportunities coming up as the economy expands and India moves from the 10 th largest economy to 3 rd largest economy in the world.  SIM is aimed at future ready and Industry ready talent among the youths.

Under  the  SIM,  the  Ministry  of  Skill  Development  and  Entrepreneurship  (MSDE) provides  skill,  re-skill  and  up-skill  training  to  youth  through  a  comprehensive  network  of skill  development  centres/institutes  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) across the country including West Bengal, Bihar, Jharkhand and the North Eastern States. The State/UT-wise number of persons trained under these  schemes including in West Bengal, Bihar, Jharkhand and the North Eastern States are placed at Annexure-I .

Apart from above, more than 20 Central Ministries are implementing Skilling/upskilling  training  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)           To  synergize  initiatives  of  skill  development  in  the  country  and  overcome  the regional imbalance, the schemes  of MSDE  focus  on  implementation of training interventions with increased  participation  of states and  districts  through  State  Skill Development Mission (SSDMs) and District Skill Committees (DSCs).  DSCs are mandated with formulating District Skill Development Plans (DSDPs) to promote decentralized planning and implementation at the grassroots. The DSDPs identify sectors in which employment opportunities and demand for skilling exists in the district. Skill gap studies  conducted  through  reputed  organizations  also  provide  information  on  the  skills needed  and  the  skill  gaps  in  various  sectors, which  help  to  understand  the  skill requirements  and  opportunities.  Skill  Development  Programmes  of  the  Government  are designed and implemented to bridge identified skill gaps across sectors.

Further,  to  encourage  training  in  Special  Areas,  which  includes  North  Eastern States,  Hilly  States  and  Districts  affected  by  Left  Wing  Extremism,  special  provisions  in Costing  Norms for  training  have  been  made.  This  includes  an  additional  10%  over  and above  the  Base  Cost,  for  training  programmes  conducted  in  these  areas,  support  for boarding  and  lodging  for  trainees  from  Special  Areas  undergoing  training  outside  these special areas and to and fro  transport cost for candidates from Special Areas undergoing training  outside   Special  Areas.   Government  is  also  providing  financial  assistance  for setting up and upgradation of  Industrial Training Institutes (ITIs) through its schemes i.e. Enhancing Skill Development Infrastructure in North Eastern States and Skill Development in 48 Districts affected by Left Wing Extremism (LWE).

- (c)        Amongst the schemes of the MSDE, placement is specifically tracked only under Short Term Training (STT) component of PMKVY. Since the beginning of the Scheme in 2015-16, under the STT component of PMKVY, a total 68.94 lakh candidates have been trained  as  on  31.03.2023,  out  of  which  54.43  lakh  have  been  certified  and  24.37  lakh candidates have been reported placed.

The  State-wise  number  of  trainees  reported  placed  and sector-wise  number  of trainees reported placed for the last three years under PMKVY are at Annexure- II and III respectively.

As regards other schemes, third party evaluation reports have observed success in terms of placement  or  enhancement  of  income  of  candidates  trained. As  far as employment of the JSS scheme beneficiaries is concerned, third party evaluation report of the scheme observed that as an impact of the training programme conducted at JSSs, the self and wage employment and private job have become evident. The report has further observed that usefulness of the scheme would be further evident from the fact that 77.05% of the beneficiary trainees have undergone occupational shifts. The final report of Tracer Study of ITI Graduates (published in January 2018 by the Ministry of Skill Development & Entrepreneurship, GoI) mentions that 63.5% of total ITI pass-outs got employed (wage + self, out of which 6.7% are self-employed).
