(a): Jan  Shikshan  Sansthans  (JSSs)  are  established  under  the  Scheme  of  Support  to  Voluntary Agencies for Adult Education and Skill Development. They provide vocational skill development training to non-literates, neo-literates, as well as school drop outs by identifying skills as would have a market in the region of their establishment. The mandate of JSSs is to provide skill development and life enrichment education to adults having no or rudimentary levels of education. Priority groups to  be  covered  by  JSSs  include  women,  SCs/STs/OBCs,  other  economically  weaker  sections  and minorities.  They  are  expected  to  keep  in  mind  local  demand  and  select  only  such  vocational programmes which are relevant to clientele and should lead to enhancement of their income.

(b): The details  of  JSS  sanctioned  and  functioning  in  the  country,  State-wise  and  their  present status are at Annexure-I.

(c)&(d): No, Madam. There is no provision for the sanction of additional JSSs during the 12th Plan period.

(e): Details of funds allocated to JSSs during each of the last three years and the current year are at Annexure-II.

(f): A web-based monitoring system has been developed and is fully functional at <jss.nic.in>. The Annual Action Plan of JSS is submitted and approved online.  Region-wise review meetings are regularly held on half-yearly and annual basis. The performance of each JSS is also evaluated once every  three  years  by  reputed  evaluating  agencies  empanelled  with  National  Literacy  Mission Authority  (NLMA). Performance audit of JSS is also conducted by expert agencies from time to time.
