## ANSWER

THE MINISTER OF STATE (INDEPENDENT CHARGE) IN THE MINISTRY OF SKILL DEVELOPMENT AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP

(SHRI JAYANT CHAUDHARY)

(a) to (f): 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  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 Meerut, Sabarkantha, Mandi Lok Sabha

Constituencies and Bhilwara district of Rajasthan. The SIM aims at enabling youth of India to get future ready and equipped with industry relevant skills. The total number of  training  centres  under  these  schemes  in  the  Meerut,  Sabarkantha,  Mandi  Lok Sabha Constituencies and Bhilwara district of Rajasthan is given below:

| Schemes   | Number of Training Centres   | Number of Training Centres   | Number of Training Centres   | Number of Training Centres   |
|-----------|------------------------------|------------------------------|------------------------------|------------------------------|
| Schemes   | Meerut                       | Sabarkantha                  | Mandi                        | Bhilwara                     |
| 65        | 7                            | 15                           | 25                           | PMKVY 4.0                    |
| 318       | 529                          | 222                          | 72                           | NAPS *                       |
| --        | 01                           | 01                           | --                           | JSS                          |
| 65        | 17                           | 73                           | 30                           | CTS ^                        |

*The data is of number of establishments in NAPS scheme.

^ The data is of number of ITIs (Govt. and PVT.)  in CTS scheme.

The total number of candidates trained under various schemes of MSDE in Meerut, Sabarkantha,  Mandi  Lok  Sabha  Constituencies  and  Bhilwara  district  of  Rajasthan during last three years are given at Annexure-I .

Further, the schemes of MSDE for skill development are demand driven and training centres  are  set  up  on  need  basis.  The  Government  continuously  reviews  skill requirements  emerging  from  local  industries,  and  specialised  training  courses  are introduced under various schemes as per demand. District Skill Committees (DSCs), established  across  all  States/UTs  are  mandated  with  formulating  District  Skill Development Plans (DSDPs) to promote decentralized planning for skill development and  implementation  at  the  grassroots  level.  The  DSDPs  identify  sectors  with employment opportunities as well as the associated demand for skilling in the district, and map the available facilities for Skill Training. Skill Development Programmes of the Government are designed and implemented to bridge identified skill gaps across sectors.  36  Sector  Skill  Councils  (SSCs),  led  by  industry  leaders are  mandated  to identify the skill development needs of respective sectors as well as to determine skill competency standards. SSCs conduct skill gap studies from time to time which provide information  on  the  skills  needed.  Such  studies  guide  the  interventions  of  the Government for preparing the workforce as per the industry needs.

There is no such proposal for setting up of Mega Skill Development Centre in various other districts including Meerut, Sabarkantha and Mandi and Bhilwara.
