ANSWER
(a) to (c) 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). As on 15th July 2016, a total of 19.7 lakh people have been trained and 12.8 lakh people have been certified under the PMKVY scheme. Data update exercise was conducted in the month of May by NSDC team and the reported figure for Placed candidate out of passed candidates as of 15th July 2016 is 1,46,264.
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.
(d) In PMKVY 2016-2020, approval has been given by the Union Cabinet 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 2015-16, it was not mandatory for NSDC’s training partners to report employment data. However, 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.

We know that India has the largest number of youths in the world. But there is lack in skills in youth Central Government launched Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana under the Skill Development and Entrepreneurship program would create a favorable ecosystem for skill development through providing entrepreneurship education and training for youth.
