ANSWER
(a) to (b) As on 11th November, 2016, the total number candidates completed training is 19.83 lakh and the total number of placed candidates is 2.36 lakh. Under Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana (PMKVY) 2015-16, it was not mandatory for training partners to report employment data. The employment data available reflects only a very small part of the actual employment provided under the scheme. However, under PMKVY 2016-20 approved by the Cabinet on 13th July 2016, the focus on employment has been significantly enhanced.
Under PMKVY 2016-20, Government runs high employment potential industry relevant courses for prospective candidates. Industries are actively participating as accredited and affiliated training partners/centers in imparting training-cum-placement activities as per National Skill Qualification Framework (NSQF) Norms. Scheme incentivizes Training Centers (TCs)/ Training Partners (TPs) for facilitating placement of the trained candidates. TCs are mandated to organize placement/rozgar melas every six month with the support of Sector Skill Council and to ensure the participation of the local industry. The last 20% payment to training partner would be made only after wage employment of self-employment to atleast 70% of the trained candidates. Additionally, post placement supports at the rate of Rs1450 per month are provided to women, candidates from special areas and for PWDs. The schemes runs across 221 job roles related to 35 Sector Skill Councils which is a diverse and exhaustive representation of the industry. PMKVY (2016-20) has targeted to provide skilling to one crore people (60 lakh under Fresh Training and 40 lakh under RPL) over the four years (2016-2020) with an outlay of Rs.12,000 crore.
