## ANSWER MINISTER OF STATE FOR LABOUR AND EMPLOYMENT (SUSHRI SHOBHA KARANDLAJE)

(a) to (f): Ministry of Labour and Employment is implementing the 'Welfare of SC/ST jobseekers Scheme'. The objective of the scheme is to enhance the  employability  of  SC/ST  jobseekers  through  vocational  guidance, career  counselling,  computer  training,  pre-recruitment  training  etc.  Till date, 25 National Career Service Centres for SC/ST (including one Centre at Bengaluru in Karnataka) have been opened as per the request of State/ UT  and  are  functional.  The  location  of  these  Centres  may  be  seen  at https://dge.gov.in/dge/ncsc\_for\_sc/sts

The details of the number of applications received and the number of students enrolled during the last three years in the country, State/UTwise including Karnataka is at Annexure I.

A  stipend  of  Rs.  1000/-  per  month  per  candidate  is  paid  through Direct  Benefit  Transfer  besides  free  books  &  stationery  of  worth  Rs. 1000/- per candidate for the entire course. The States/UTs wise number of beneficiaries in the country including Karnataka is at Annexure II.

This  is  a  Central  Sector  Scheme.  There  is  no  specific  States/UTs allocation of funds under the scheme.

The  objective  of  the  scheme  is  to  enhance  the  employability  of SC/ST  jobseekers,  however,  efforts  are  also  made  to  place  the  SC/ST candidates by organizing job fairs.
