## ANSWER

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

(a) to (d) Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana (PMKVY) 2015-16 had a target to cover 24  lakh  youth  in  the  country.  The  scheme  was  implemented  by  National  Skill  Development Corporation  (NSDC).  The  objective  of  this  Skill  Certification  scheme  is  to  enable  a  large number of Indian youth to take up industry-relevant skill training that will help them in securing a  better  livelihood.  Individuals  with  prior  learning  experience  or  skills  were  assessed  and certified under Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL).

The total numbers to be trained was 24 lakhs spread across Fresh Training (14 lakhs) and  Recognition  of  Prior  Learning  (10  lakhs).  As  on  28 th July  2016,  a  total  of  17.94  lakh candidates (under Fresh Training) have been enrolled, 17.93 lakh have been trained and 11.9 lakh have been certified ( Annexure-I ).  Placements of 1,75,431 numbers of candidates have also  been  reported.  However,  under  PMKVY  2015-16,  it  was  not  mandatory  for  NSDC's training  partners to report employment data.  The employment data available reflects only a fraction of the actual employment provided under the scheme.

The  Union  Cabinet  has  given  approval  on  13 th July,  2016  for  the  modification  and continuation  of  the  Pradhan  Mantri  Kaushal  Vikas  Yojana  (PMKVY)  as  'Skill  Development Component' of umbrella PMKVY to skill one crore people over the four years (2016-2020) with an outlay of Rs.12,000.00 crore. Under PMKVY 2016-20 the focus on employment has been significantly enhanced. The last 20% payment to training partners would be made only after wage employment or self employment of at least 70% of the successfully trained candidates. The PMKVY Training Partners have been mandated to have mentorship cum placement cells, with placements incentivized as per the Common Norms guidelines.  Mobilization, monitoring and  post  training  placement  of  trainees  through  Rozgar  Melas  (placement  camps)  and Kaushal Shivirs (mobilization camps) are integral part of the PMKVY 2016-20.
