## ANSWER

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

(SHRI JAYANT CHAUDHARY)

- (a)  to  (d) Under  the  Government  of  India's  Skill  India  Mission  (SIM),  launched  in  2015,  the Ministry  of  Skill  Development  and  Entrepreneurship  (MSDE)  provides  skill,  re-skill,  and  up-skill training through an extensive network of skill development centres under major schemes such as Pradhan  Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana (PMKVY),  Jan  Shikshan  Sansthan  (JSS), National Apprenticeship Promotion Scheme (NAPS), and the Craftsman Training Scheme (CTS) in Industrial Training Institutes (ITIs), to all sections of the society across the country. The SIM aims at enabling youth of India to get future ready, equipped with industry relevant skills.  The number of candidates trained/oriented/engaged/enrolled in Odisha under major skill development schemes of MSDE from FY 2022-23 to 2025-26 (as on 31.12.2025), scheme-wise and district-wise is at Annexure-I .

Further, among the schemes of MSDE, placements were specifically tracked only in the Short Term Training  (STT)  and  Special  Project  (SP)  components  of  PMKVY  in  the  first  three  versions  i.e., PMKVY 1.0, PMKVY 2.0 and PMKVY 3.0 of the scheme implemented from FY 2015-16 to FY 202122.   Under PMKVY 4.0, the focus was to empower our trained candidates to choose their varied career  path  and  they  are  suitably  oriented  for  the  same.  Further,  various  IT  tools  like  Skill  India Digital Hub (SIDH) also gives this opportunity.

Number of candidates certified and reported placed across the country under PMKVY 1.0, PMKVY 2.0 and PKKVY 3.0 are as under:

| Scheme    | No. of candidates certified                      | No. of candidates certified         | Total Certified   | Total Reported Placed in STT+SP   |

| PMKVY 1.0 | 13,32,479                                        | 1,19,157                            | 14,51,636         | 2,53,296                          |
| PMKVY 2.0 | 40,36,547                                        | 51,21,000                           | 91,57,547         | 21,41,575                         |
| PMKVY 3.0 | 3,20,052                                         | 1,89,662                            | 5,09,714          | 43,016                            |

Under NAPS, funds are not allocated district-wise and the establishments are incentivized by way of stipend support. Day to day administration as well as financial control in respect of ITIs lies with the respective State Government/ UT Administration. The district-wise funds released to Odisha under PMKVY  and  JSS  schemes  of  MSDE  from  FY  2022-23  to  2025-26  (as  on  31.12.2025)  is  at Annexure-II .
