Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Skill Development & Entrepreneurship Shri Rajiv Pratap Rudy has said that at the request of the National Skill Development Agency (NSDA), the World Bank has conducted an evaluation study of five central government sponsored national level Skill Development Programmes (SDPs). The objective of the field study, done between April and October 2014, was to understand and learn from the performance of these five SDPs in the states of Andhra Pradesh, Assam, Madhya Pradesh, Odisha and Rajasthan. As per the interim findings of the report, 27% of candidates enrolled in the above skill development programmes find employment. The final report is yet to be submitted.
In a written reply in the Rajya Sabha today Shri Rudy said, the Government of India has formulated over 73 skill development schemes, which focus on various sectors and are being implemented through over 20 GOI Ministries/Departments. The government endeavors to make these schemes outcomes based by emphasizing on placement post training. The performance of these would be measured in terms of percentage of persons actually placed in wage or self-employment. The Ministry-wise skilling target and achievements are placed at Annexure-I.
