The scheme spans over five years (2016-17 to 2020-21) with a project cost of Rs. 499.94 crore and will provide entrepreneurship education and training to over 7 lakh students in 5 years through 2200 Institutes of Higher Learning (colleges, universities, and premier institutes), 300 schools, 500 ITIs and 50 Entrepreneurship Development Centres, through Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs).
(b) The State-wise details of the names and number of institutes identified for providing entrepreneurship education and training are available at MSDE''s website i.e www.msde.gov.in.
(c) & (d) Since the scheme will be covering the educational and technical institutes from formal setting and this scheme will be implemented as an additional course, it is implied that the candidates getting covered under this scheme will have a certain education skill baseline assigned to that educational/skill course which the candidate will primarily acquire.
(e) & (f) There is no definite guidelines issued by the Union Government for easy access to information and mentor network, credit, incubator and accelerator to pave a pathway in increasing the employability of candidates who have been undergone entrepreneurship education training under Pradhan Mantri YUVA Yojana although different Ministries involved in promotion of skills and entrepreneurship have provided aggregation platform to facilitate the required services to the entrepreneurs.
