## ANSWER

MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF RURAL DEVELOPMENT (SHRI KAMLESH PASWAN)

(a) to (h): Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Grameen Kaushalya Yojana (DDU-

GKY) is a standard led outcome driven quality skilling program which aims to contribute to the Prime Minister's 'Make in India' campaign to position  India  as  the  globally  preferred  manufacturing  hub,  while dovetailing  its  efforts  to  significantly  contribute  in  other  flagship programs  of  the  nation.  DDU-GKY  is  a  State  led  scheme  being

implemented in PPP mode, based on a demand-driven target sanction process. The program occupies a unique position amongst other skill training programs, due to its focus on the rural poor youth and its emphasis on sustainable employment through the prominence and incentives given to post-placement tracking, retention, and career progression.  To  ensure  quality  adherence,  DDU-GKY  mandates independent third-party certification, through Sector Skill Councils (SSC) of NSDC, of every trainee to assess the skill, knowledge and attitude of each trainee.

Under DDU-GKY, two special components are being implemented. affected areas of 9 States with mandatory residential course with 40% coverage to women candidates, and Himayat- All youth of the UT of Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh are covered under this scheme i.e., ROSHNI program is being implemented for 27 left-wing extremistwith 100% central funding.

The target group for DDU-GKY is poor rural youth in the age group 15-35.  However,  the  upper-age  limit  for  women  candidates  and candidates belonging to Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Groups (PVTGs),  Persons  with  Disabilities  (PwDs),  Transgender  and  other Special Groups like rehabilitated bonded labour, victims of trafficking, manual scavengers, transgender, people living with HIV etc. shall be 45 years.

The  State/UT  wise  details  of  candidates  trained  and  placed, including  Madhya  Pradesh,  Jammu  and  Kashmir,  Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand and Bihar are given at Annexure-I and the details of total candidates  trained  and  placed,  including  women,  SCs,  STs,  and socially disadvantaged groups in Dumka, Hazaribagh, and Ramgarh districts  of  Jharkhand  and  Darbhanga  district  of  Bihar,  are  given at Annexure-II.

## Salient features of the program are:

-  Placement-linked Skill Development Program
-  Public Private Partnership mode of Implementation
-  Mandatory social inclusion: SC/ST (50%), Women (33%), PwDs (5%).
-  Minimum 70% placement (Minimum 50% wage employment and maximum 20% self-employment).
-  Salary to the placed candidates is given as per the Minimum wages or above. Post Placement Support and Retention Support to the placed candidates

The  Category-wise  (including  women,  SCs,  STs  and  socially disadvantaged  groups)  and  State/UT  wise  details  of  candidates trained  and  placed,  from  FY  2018-19  till  Feb  2026  are  given  in

Annexure-III.

This  programme  is  being  implemented  in  'project  mode'  by sanctioning  the  projects  to  Project  Implementing  Agencies  (PIAs).

These PIAs may be any entity which is:

- i. A Government or semi-government organization at the National
2. and State level,
3. NGO registered with NITI Aayog,
4. ii.
- iii. Registered  under  Indian  Trust  Acts  or  any  State  Society Registration Act or any State Cooperative Societies or MultiState  Cooperative  Acts  or  the  Companies  Act  2003  or  the Limited Liability Partnership Act 2008, or SHGs  and  its federations namely Cluster Level Federation/Block Level Federation.
6. iv.
7. More than three years old entity, except Start-ups, etc.

DDU-GKY  is  a  demand-driven  scheme;  hence,  funds  are  not allocated State-wise. However, since inception, a total of Rs. 7442.53

crore has been released to the States, as mentioned in Annexure-IV.

Under the current Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Grameen Kaushalya Yojana  2.0  (DDU-GKY2.0),  greater  emphasis  has  been  given  on securing a minimum  of  6 months  of employment  for  trained candidates, along with tracking support for 12 months to ensure a job.  An  amount  of  ₹  7620  (₹1270  per  month)  is  given  to  placed candidates for 6 months. Retention Support @ ₹5000 is given for every candidate  employed  continuously  for  365  days,  with  a  break  of  a maximum  of  60  days.  Provision  has  also  been  made  under  DDUGKY2.0 of upskilling and reskilling opportunities for trainees after 12 months of placement.

Under the DDU-GKY2.0 efforts are made to align the aspirations of  rural  youth  with  the  evolving  skill  requirements  of  the  labour market. States/UTs are provided budgetary support to undertake skill gap  studies  to  identify  sectoral  opportunities  and  employment potential  in  their  regions.  Based  on  these  studies, States/UTs  and Project  Implementing  Agencies  (PIAs)  are  encouraged  to  propose training  programmes  in  emerging  and  high-growth  sectors  aligned with local, domestic and global job markets. While submitting project proposals,  PIAs  are  required  to  provide  justification  and  demand assessment for the sectors proposed, ensuring that training under

DDU-GKY remains demand-driven and industry-relevant.
