## STATEMENT  REFERRED  TO  IN  REPLY  TO  PARTS  (A)  TO  (E)  OF  LOK  SABHA STARRED QUESTION NO. 358 TO BE ANSWERED ON 10.08.2016  ASKED BY SHRI N.K.  PREMACHANDRAN  REGARDING  'SKILL  DEVELOPMENT  PROGRAMMES THROUGH PRIVATE AGENCIES'

(a) to (e) The Government has set up National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC) as a Public private Partnership entity to promote private training providers to set up skill training centres across the Country through loan support at subsidized rates. The NSDC conducts  short  term  skill  training  courses  through  its  approved  training  partners.  As  on date, it  has 267 approved training partners (TPs) with 5093 operational training centres, with  coverage  across  the  States  and  Union  Territories.  All  these  training  partners  are approved  by  the  NSDC  after  following  due  process.  Various  kinds  of  training,  including Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana (PMKVY) are imparted by these TPs based on the Qualifications Packs (QPs) and National Occupation Standards (NOSs) developed by the respective  Sector  Skill  Councils.  Field  inspections  including  affiliation  &  accreditation  of these training partners are  done by the Sector Skill Council (SSC). The details of funds transferred to NSDC for the purpose of Skill Development during the last three years and the current year are at Annexure-I .

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.  As on 28 th July  2016,  a  total  of  17.94  lakh  candidates (fresh  training)  have  been  enrolled,  17.93  lakh  have  been  trained,  11.9  lakh  have  been certified  and  1.46  lakh  candidates  have  been  placed  under  the  PMKVY  scheme ( Annexure-II ).  Under PMKVY 2015-16, it was not mandatory for NSDC's training partners to report employment data. The employment data available reflects only a fraction of the actual employment provided under the scheme.

Based on the learnings of PMKVY 2015-16, the scheme has been revamped and 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 is completely aligned to the  Common  Norms  as  notified  with  the  approval  of  Cabinet  on  15 th July,  2015,  and amended from time to time.  Under PMKVY 2016-20, the focus on employment has been significantly  enhanced.  The  last  20%  payment  to  training  partners  would  be  made  only after wage employment or self employment to at least 70% of the trained candidates.  In the new version, the PMKVY Training Partners have been mandated to have mentorship cum placement cells, with placements incentivized as per the Common Norms guidelines. Mobilization,  monitoring  and  post  training  placement  of  trainees  through  Rozgar  Melas (placement  camps)  and  Kaushal  Shivirs  (mobilization  camps)  are  part  of  the  PMKVY 2016-20,  with  financial  incentives.    The  parameters  such  as  Training  Target  Allocation, Cycle  of  Target  allocation,  Curriculum,  Training  of  Trainers  (TOT),  Trainee  linkage  with Aadhar ID, Attendance, Awareness and Mobilization, Assessments, Certification, Reward Money and Monitoring have also been modified in PMKVY 2016-20 to make the Scheme more effective.

No foreign company has been involved in the implementation of skill development scheme of the Ministry.
