## ANSWER

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

(a) to (b) The Union Cabinet in its meeting on 13 th July, 2016, has approved the 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.12,000.00 crore. The National Skill Development  Corporation  (NSDC),  a  Public  Private  Partnership  entity  under  the Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship, is the implementing agency for PMKVY which is nation-wide scheme guided by skill gap and industry demand.

Under PMKVY 2015-16, it was not mandatory for NSDC's training partners to report employment data. However, under PMKVY 2016-20 approved by the Cabinet on 13 th July 2016, 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 of at least 70% of the successfully trained candidates.

- (c) Data update exercise was conducted in the month of May by National Skill Development Corporation's team and the reported figure for Placed candidates out of  passed  candidates  as  of  15 th July  2016  is  1,46,264.  However,  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.
- (d) India  is  a  developing  country  and  the  state  and  quality  of  employment opportunities are guided by the economic conditions of a nation duly modulated by market  conditions  comprising  supply  and  demand  behaviour  of  cross  section  of people.
- (e) NSDC's Operational Training Centers (state /union territory wise) for financial year 2016-17 till 30 th June 2016, are as under:
