## ANSWER

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

(a) to (e) Under  Skill  India  campaign,  the  Ministry  of  Skill  Development  and Entrepreneurship  launched  in  2015-16,  the  Pradhan  Mantri  Kaushal  Vikas  Yojana (PMKVY)  to  impart  fresh  training  to  14  lakh  persons  and  certify  10  lakh  persons under  Recognition  of  Prior  Learning  (RPL)  in  one  year.  Under  PMKVY,  as  on 15 th July, 2016, 17.93 lakh persons have been trained in 416 job roles in 32 sectors. Out  of  this  1.46  lakh  trainees  have  been  reported  to  have  got  placement.  Since placement  was  not  a  mandatory  criteria  under  the  PMKVY  2015-16,  the  reported figure  is  a  fraction  of  actual  placement  outcome  under  the  scheme.  A  statement showing sector wise details of persons trained and placed is given at Annexure-I. Under PMKVY, a monetary reward ranging Rs. 7500 to Rs. 12500 was provided to the  trainees  upon  their  successful  completion  and  certification.  As  per  information received  from  National  Skill  Development  Corporation  (NSDC)  the  implementing agency for PMKVY, reimbursement of monetary reward amounting to Rs. 867 crore to certified trainees has been processed till 26.7.2016. The PMKVY has been further expanded with revised guidelines to train one crore persons during 2016-20 with an outlay of Rs. 12000 crore.
