## ANSWER

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

(a) to (d) The Government has set up National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC) as a  Public  private  Partnership  entity  to  promote  private  training  providers  across  the  Country. 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, including 602 mobile centres with coverage across 29 states and 6  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 NDSC. So far, an amount of Rs. 2366 crore has been spent by the NSDC for various training programmes.

Long  term  vocational  training  is  imparted  through  Industrial  Training  Institutes  (ITIs). There are a total 13,105 ITIs (Government - 2293 and private - 10812) across India with 18.7 lakh seats in 126 trades. There is no central financial support for these long term courses. The survey of these institutions is done at the time of affiliation through the Quality Council of India.

Further,  under  Skill  Development  Initiative  (SDI)  Scheme,  vocational  training  was provided to people to develop skilled manpower for the industry through a network of 13184 Vocational Training Providers (VTPs). These VTPs are registered through States/UTs and at the  end  of  training,  candidates  are  assessed  by  the  Assessing  Bodies  empanelled  by  the Directorate  General  of  Training.  Regional  Directorates  of  Apprenticeship  Training  (RDATs) conduct inspection  of  these  VTPs.  There  is  no fee  for  training  and  assessment.  Successful candidates are awarded National Council of Vocational Training (NCVT) certificate. The funds for  these  training  courses  are  released  to  State/UT  Governments  for  payment  towards  all reimbursement claims of VTP. A Statement showing the State-wise release of funds under SDI till 2015-16 is annexed (Annexure I).
