## STATEMENT REFERRED TO IN REPLY TO PARTS (A) TO (E) OF LOK SABHA STARRED QUESTION NO. 243 TO BE ANSWERED ON 03.08.2016 ASKED BY SHRI S. R. VIJAYAKUMAR AND SHRI DEVAJIBHAI G. FATEPARA REGARDING FUNDS UNDER PMKVY

Pradhan  Mantri  Kaushal  Vikas  Yojana  (PMKVY)  2015-16  had  a  target  to cover 24 lakh youth in the country. The scheme was implemented by National Skill Development  Corporation  (NSDC)  with  the  objective  to  enable  a  large  number  of Indian youth to take up industry-relevant skill training that will help them in securing a better  livelihood.  Individuals  with  prior  learning  experience  or  skills  were  also assessed and certified under Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) category.

The  total  numbers  to  be  trained  under  the  scheme  was  24  lakhs  spread across Fresh Training (14 lakhs) and Recognition of Prior Learning (10 lakhs). Under the  scheme,  as  on  28 th July  2016,  a  total  of  17.94  lakh  candidates  (under  Fresh Training) have been enrolled, 17.93 lakh have been trained and 11.9 lakh have been certified (Annexure-I).

Under  the  scheme,  monetary  reward  was  provided  to  trainees  who  are successfully trained, assessed and certified in skill courses run by affiliated training providers. It also sought to significantly scale up skill training activities in the country and  enable  skill  training  to  happen  at  a  fast  pace  without  compromising  quality. Institutional arrangements comprising of the National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC),  Sector  Skill  Councils  (SSCs),  Assessing  agencies  and  Training  Partners were put in place for implementation of the scheme.

Recently, the Union Cabinet in its meeting on 13 th July, 2016, has approved the  new version with  modification and continuation of  the Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas  Yojana  (PMKVY)  as  'Skill  Development  Component'  of  umbrella  PMKVY  to skill one crore people over the four years (2016-2020) with an outlay of Rs.12,000 crore. The Scheme will be completely aligned to the Common Norms as notified with the approval of Cabinet on 15 th July, 2015, and amended from time to time. Also, the Common Norms provide for incentives in the form of reimbursement of conveyance costs to Special Groups which includes Women, SC/ST and Physical Handicapped candidates.    Further,  the  scheme  also  provides  for  boarding  and  lodging  of candidates from North East States, Left Wing Extremism affected districts, Persons with Disabilities (PwD)  and  others  in  accordance  with  the  Common  Norms guidelines.

As PMKVY is a nation-wide scheme, NSDC does not capture State-wise and item-wise  expenditure  incurred  under  the  scheme.  However,  funds  amounting  to Rs.935  crore  (Rs.435  crore  in  2015-16  and  Rs.500  crore  in  2016-17)  have  been allocated to NSDC for PMKVY, till 30 th June, 2016.

Under the PMKVY 2015-16 there was no State component for allocation of funds to State Governments. However, under PMKVY 2016-20 in order to address the unique skill requirements of different States, funds are being directly allocated to State Governments through a project based approach, with 25% of the total training targets,  both  financial  and  physical.    The  States  are  expected  to  finalize  projects based  on  critical  gaps  in  skilling  within  their  States  in  terms  of  sectors,  job  roles, geography etc. and strictly follow Common Norms for arriving at the project cost.
