ANSWER

THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF SKILL DEVELOPMENT AND


ENTREPRENEURSHIP

(SHRI RAJEEV CHANDRASEKHAR)

(a) to (e) The Skill India Mission (SIM) of the Govt of India is aimed at Skilling, Re-skilling and
Up-skilling to ensure our youth are prepared for the large number of opportunities coming up as
the economy expands and India moves from the 10th largest economy to 3rd largest economy in
the world. SIM is aimed at future ready and Industry ready talent among the youths.

Under Skill India Mission (SIM), Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship
(MSDE) delivers skill, Re-skill and Up-skill training through various schemes viz. Pradhan Mantri
Kaushal Vikas Yojana (PMKVY), Jan Sikhshan Sansthan (JSS), National Apprenticeship
Promotion Scheme (NAPS) and Craftsman Training Scheme (CTS) through Industrial Training
Institutes (ITIs), to all the sections of the society across the country.

The objective of vocational training programme is to equip individuals with market


relevant skills for wage or self employment. The placements are specifically tracked only under
Short Term Training (STT) component of PMKVY. Under the STT component of PMKVY, a total
68.94 lakh candidates have been trained as on 31.03.2023, out of which 54.43 lakh have been
certified and 24.37 lakh candidates have been reported placed which is 42.99 % of the certified
numbers. State/UT-wise placement rate (reported placed as percentage of STT certified
candidates) during the last five years is at Annexure-I. As regards other schemes, the third
party evaluation reports have observed that there is success in terms of placement or
enhancement of income of candidates trained. As far as the employment of the JSS scheme
beneficiaries is concerned, third party evaluation report of the scheme observed that as an
impact of the training programme conducted at JSSs, the self and wage employment and private
job have become evident. The report has further observed that usefulness of the scheme would
be further evident from the fact that 77.05% of the beneficiary trainees have undergone
occupational shifts. The final report of Tracer Study of ITI Graduated (published in January 2018
by the Ministry of Skill Development & Entrepreneurship, GoI) mentions that 63.5% of total ITI
pass-outs got employed (wage + self, out of which 6.7 % are self-employed).

In order to increase the opportunities for the placement of the certified candidates under
PMKVY-STT, placement is linked with payout to training providers. The last tranche, i.e., 30
percent of total payout is disbursed to Training Providers only on ensuring placement of the
candidates. Rozgar Melas and Apprenticeship Melas are being organized at district and regional
level. Further, 36 Sector Skill Councils, led by industry leaders in the respective sectors, have
been set up by National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC). Functions of these councils
include identification of skill development needs of the sectors with a view to bridge the gap
between demands of the industry and skilling requirements as well as to determine
skills/competency standards and qualifications and get them notified as per the National Skills
Qualification Framework. In addition, to enable the opportunities for employments, Skill India
Digital (SID) Portal has been launched as a one-stop platform that integrates skilling, education,
employment, and entrepreneurship ecosystems to provide a life-long array of services targeting a
wide range of stakeholders including Learners, Sector Skill Councils, Knowledge Providers,
Content Partners, Training Partners, Skill Centres, Trainers, Assessors, Assessment Agencies,
Awarding Bodies and Financial Institutions

District Skill Committees (DSCs), under the guidance of respective State Skill
Development Missions (SSDMs), play a key role in addressing the skill gap and assessing
demand at the district level. The DSCs have been entrusted with the development of District Skill
Development Plans (DSDPs) to promote decentralized planning and implementation at the
grassroots. The DSDPs identify sectors in which employment opportunities and demand for
skilling exists.
