In a bid to boost the skill development, the government has given its approval for an outlay of Rs 12000 crore under Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana (PMKVY), to impart skilling to one crore people over the next four years till 2020. The Scheme would move to a grant based model where the training and assessment cost would be directly reimbursed to training providers and assessment bodies in accordance with the Common Norms.
State Governments would be involved through a project based approach under the PMKVY with 25% of the total training targets, both financial and physical, being allocated under this stream of the Scheme. The financial amount/budget for achieving 25% of the total training targets of next phase of PMKVY would be directly allocated to the States.
PMKVY will provide fresh training to 60 lakh youths and certify skills of 40 lakh persons acquired non-formally under the Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL).The target allocation between fresh trainings and RPL will be flexible and interchangeable depending on functional and operational requirements.
Under the scheme, the government will provide financial support to trainees in the form of travel allowance, boarding and lodging costs. Post placement support would be given directly to the beneficiaries through Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT). Besides, mobilization, monitoring and post training placement of trainees will be done through Rozgar Melas (placement camps) and Kaushal Shivirs (mobilization camps). Disbursement of training cost to training partners will be linked to Aadhaar and biometrics for better transparency and targeting. Skill training would be done based on industry led standards aligned to the National Skill Qualification Framework (NSQF). Apart from catering to domestic skill needs, PMKVY will focus on skill training aligned with international standards for overseas employment, including in Gulf countries and Europe.
