- (a) & (b) Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana (PMKVY) is being implemented through National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC).  The trainees are issued certificate by concerned Sector Skill Councils (SSCs) after their successful training and  assessment  under  PMKVY.  The  entire  process  and  progress  of  PMKVY  is tracked by NSDC on its IT Portal-Skill Development  Management System. As per data available, out of 8.44 lakh students who have successfully completed training and  assessment,  5.71  lakh  students  have  already  been  issued  certificates.  The certification  by  SSCs  is  still  going  on  and  students  are  getting  certified.  There  are certain factors like assessment reports, non-availability of Aadhar IDs, processing of data which consume a lot of time in certification.  The  Government has instructed NSDC  to  ensure  issuance  of  certificate  to  candidates  as  soon  as  they  become eligible.  NSDC has also been following up with SSCs for expediting certification.
- (c) PMKVY was  formally  launched  by  the  Hon'ble  Prime  Minister  on  15 th July 2015 initially for a period of one year. A monetary reward is directly credited to the Bank account of trainees upon their successful assessment and certification. As on 22 nd April 2016, some 8.44 lakh students have been certified out of which only 3.09 lakh trainees have bank accounts against which reward money has been disbursed to  2.11  lakh  candidates  till  date.  Remaining  candidates  would  be  given  Reward Money after their aadhar validation and opening of Bank Accounts.
- (d) & (e) Placements  under  PMKVY  is  tracked  through  the  Skill  Development Management  System  (SDMS)  portal.  As  per  the  data  declared  by  the  training partners  on  SDMS  portal,  a  total  of  70,927  candidates  have  so  far  been  placed under PMKVY.
