## ANSWER

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

(a) to (c) In  order  to  understand  the  sectoral  and  geographical  spread  of  skill requirement/gaps  and  incremental  human  resource  requirement  across  the  sectors, studies  have  been  undertaken  by  the  Government  through  National  Skill  Development Corporation  (NSDC),  a  Public  Private  Partnership  (PPP)  entity.  As  per  the  study, employment  opportunities  in  India  would  increase  from  461.1  million  in  2013  to  581.9 million  in  2022,  across  the  24  sectors,  pointing  at  an  incremental  human  resource requirement  of  approximately  120.8  million.  Considering  the  overlap  in  the  human resource  requirement  across  a  number  of  sectors,  the  unique  number  for  incremental demand would be 109.7 million by 2022, wherein the top 10 sectors would account for 80% of this requirement. State-wise incremental human resource requirement has also been worked out according to which incremental demand is accessed at 120.33 million by 2022.

To meet the incremental demand of skilling, there are over 40 skill development schemes implemented by over 18 Central Ministries/Departments across various sectors which  has  the  mandate  to  promote  skilling  of  all  the  people  including  youth,  in  the Country.

Details of people trained under various skill development schemes/programmes of over 18 Central Ministries/Departments for the year 2014-15 to 2015-16 (upto December, 2015) are as under:-

(Figures in lakhs)

| Year      | Number of persons trained   |
|-----------|-----------------------------|
| 2014-2015 | 76.12                       |
| 2015-2016 | 37.44 (upto December, 2015) |

Many  of  these  schemes  do  not  have  provision  for  tracking  employment  of  the trainees. However, the Common  Norms  approved by the Government for skill development schemes on 15 th July,  2015, has the provision of incentivising the training providers to facilitate employment of youth trained under their centres and tracking of the trainees for the initial period. The Common Norms will be applicable on all government schemes w.e.f. 1 st April, 2016.
