Under the Government of India's Skill India Mission (SIM) , the Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship (MSDE) delivers skill, re-skill and up-skill training through an extensive network of skill development centres under various schemes, viz. Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana (PMKVY), Jan Shikshan Sansthan (JSS), National Apprenticeship Promotion Scheme (NAPS) and Craftsman Training Scheme (CTS) through Industrial Training Institutes (ITIs), to all the sections of the society , including women, across the country including Andhra Pradesh. The SIM aims at enabling youth of India including women to get future ready and equipped with industry relevant skills including the emerging technologies such as Artificial Intelligence, Semiconductor design and Renewable Energy.
Details of the women candidates trained under the major skill development schemes of the MSDE in emerging technologies like Artificial Intelligence, Semiconductor and Renewable Energy, during the last five years (2021-22 to 2025-26) are as under:
Year-wise details of women candidates trained under the major schemes of the MSDE are given at Annexure-I. State-wise details of women candidates trained under the major schemes of the MSDE are given at Annexure-II. District-wise details of women candidates trained under the major schemes of the MSDE in Andhra Pradesh are given at Annexure-III.
Amongst the schemes of MSDE, placements were tracked under the Short-Term Training component of PMKVY only in the first three versions (PMKVY1.0, PMKVY 2.0 and PMKVY 3.0) implemented from 2015-16 to 2021-22. Under PMKVY (1.0 to 3.0), 55,040 women candidates have been reported placed in Andhra Pradesh. Under PMKVY 4.0, the focus is to empower the trained candidates to choose their varied career path with orientation through industry relevant skill courses that include the On-the-Job Training (OJT).
While budgeting under the schemes of MSDE is as per the extant mandate for gender-budgeting, there is no specific gender budgeting exclusively for emerging technologies. PMKVY 4.0 is a demand-driven scheme and there is no provision of fund allocation to States/ UTs. Under PMKVY 4.0, funds are released to the implementing agencies to cover training costs on the basis of pre-approved parameters. Under JSS scheme also, funds are released to Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) directly. Under NAPS, stipend support up to Rs. 1500/- per month is released to apprentices through Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT). Day to day administration as well as financial control in respect of CTS scheme is implemented through ITIs lies with the respective State/UT.
Year-wise details of funds released under schemes of MSDE are given at Annexure-IV.
State-wise details of funds released under schemes of MSDE are given at Annexure-V.
To encourage participation of women in skill development programs, special provisions have been made for meeting expenditure on conveyance and boarding & lodging as well as enhanced post placement support. PMKVY 4.0 prioritizes and provides special focus to projects that emphasize women as primary beneficiaries especially from vulnerable sections. Under JSS Scheme, the focus is being given to women and other vulnerable sections. Women constitute more than 80% of beneficiaries under JSS. Also, there are 19 National Skill Training Institutes (NSTI) and more than 300 ITIs exclusively for women.
