## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF STATE (INDEPENDENT CHARGE) IN THE MINISTRY OF SKILL DEVELOPMENT AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP (SHRI RAJIV PRATAP RUDY)

(a) to (e) In  order  to  understand  the  sectoral  and  geographical  spread  of  skill requirement/gaps and incremental human resource requirement across the sectors, studies have been undertaken by the Government through National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC), a Public Private Partnership (PPP) entity. As per the  study,  employment  opportunities  in  India  would  increase  from  461.1  million  in 2013  to  581.9  million  in  2022,  across  the  24  sectors,  pointing  at  an  incremental human resource requirement of approximately 120.8 million. Considering the overlap in the human resource requirement across a number of sectors, the unique number for incremental demand would be 109.7 million by 2022, wherein the top 10 sectors would account for 80% of this requirement. State-wise incremental human resource requirement has also been worked out according to which incremental demand is accessed at 120.33 million by 2022. Sector-wise and State-wise incremental human resource  requirement  projected  in  the  study  report  for  the  period  2013-2022,  is attached at Annexure.

As  an  effort  to  align  the  skill  development  initiatives  with  the  incremental human resource  requirement,  Pradhan  Mantri  Kaushal  Vikas  Yojna  (PMKVY)  has been launched by Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship. The scheme with an outlay of Rs. 1,500 crore in 2015-16, has a target to cover 24 lakh persons under skill  development  training  which  would  be  done  based  on  the  National  Skill Qualification Framework (NSQF) and industry led standards.

Further, there are 13,105 Industrial Training Institutes (ITIs) (Govt.- 2,293 and Private- 10,812) operational under the Directorate General of Training (DGT) which are the Primary Institutions for skilling in the Country.

Further, to scale up skill development opportunities in the Country, NSDC has been mandated to promote capacity creation for skill development in private sector. As  on  31 st October,  2015,  the  266  NSDC  affiliated  training  partners,  have  4648 operational  training  centers,  including  812  mobile  centers  across  27  States  and  5 Union Territories in 525 districts of the Country.

In addition, to standardize the skill training imparted in various sectors across the  Country,  Government  has  notified  the  National  Skill  Qualification  Framework (NSQF). The NSQF alignment of skill training would ensure that each level is defined in terms of competencies that would need to be achieved.

Furthermore, Government has constituted and operationalised 29 Sector Skill Councils (SSCs) which are industry led bodies intended to align the skilling efforts as per  the  industry's  requirement.  The  SSCs  prescribe  the  National  Occupational Standards  (NOS)  and  Qualification  Packs  (QPs)  based  on  which  the  training  is imparted.
