(b) if so, the reasons therefor and whether any effort would be made to provide jobs along with training to the unemployed under the above scheme; and

ANSWER
(a) to (c) The Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship is implementing its flagship scheme known as Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana (PMKVY) on pan –India basis. PMKVY enables large number of prospective youth for taking Short Term Training and Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) through accredited and affiliated training partner/training centers. Under Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana (PMKVY), as on 6th July 2017, total 30,67,080 candidates are trained / undergoing training across country. Under PMKVY 2015-16, it was not mandatory for Training providers to report employment data. However, under PMKVY 2016-20, which started from 2nd October 2016 onwards, placement tracking is mandatory. Till now, a total of 2.9 lakh candidates have been provided placements offer.

Under PMKVY 2016-20, the focus on employment has been significantly enhanced. The Scheme has provision for Skill Development Management System (SDMS) to monitor and track details of the trainees like their name, personal details, location, course taken, post placement details. This also helps in prevention of duplication of candidates. The last 20% payment to training partners would be made only after Employment (both wage and self) on an annual basis of at least 70% of the successfully certified candidates within three months of completion of training, with at least 50% of the trainees passing out being placed in wage employment.
