Response to the article in Hindustan Times titled “Numbers don’t add up in NDA’s Skill India Initiative” and the same article titled as “Govt’s Skill India programme off to a dodgy start; possible fraud Enrolment” published in their e-paper version on 2 nd March 2017. 

The article published in Hindustan Times as mentioned above is based on erroneous analysis of data, incorrect depiction of facts and lack of understanding regarding the PMKVY scheme by the author. 

The responses with facts and clarifications is as below – 

1. Regarding the point that 34 institutes (being 0.2% of total institutes) trained 40% candidates under the Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana(PMKVY) Fact: The 34 Institutes mentioned in the article are 34 “Training Providers” and not “Training Centers”. Each “Training Provider” runs multiple “Training Centers” who are responsible for imparting the training to the candidates at the specific location. The aforesaid top 34 Training Providers have a combined 4,389 Training Centers across the country, which comprise of 33.71% of the total 13,019 registered Training Centers under PMKVY 1. These Training Centers have trained approximately 42% of the candidates under PMKVY 1, which is entirely consistent. The statement in the article is akin to stating that most of the Indians have their bank accounts in Mumbai because the Head Offices of most of the banks is in Mumbai! Furthermore, Softdot (seventh largest not fifth largest as quoted in the article) and Possit Skill Organisation, in particular imparted the trainings mentioned in the report through 70 and 115 Training Centers respectively across the country and not limited to NCR as indicated in the article. 2. Regarding fraudulent enrolment of candidates, non-validation of Aadhar (for more than 570,000 students) and non-existent candidates or multiple enrolments of a single candidate to inflate the total number.’ Fact: Under PMKVY 1, Aadhaar Verification was mandatory for issuance of certificate to the candidate and an Aadhaar seeded bank account mandatory for release of reward money in the candidate’s account. As on date, 13.85 lakh candidates have been certified after Aadhaar verification and NSDC has released a total of Rs. 1077.85 crore to 10.17 lakh successful candidates in their Aadhaar seeded bank accounts only. The scheme is still open for the remaining eligible candidates to get their bank accounts Aadhaar seeded and receive the reward money or certification based only on the Aadhaar authentication. The candidates who have not appeared for assessment or failed the assessment will remain ineligible for certification or reward. Additionally, if a candidate is enrolled more than once in the scheme, the candidate is not eligible to receive the reward money more than once even if the candidate gets certified with authenticated aadhaar id or has an aadhaar seeded bank account. It may be noted that consequently the Training Centers also have not received any government money in respect of candidates without Aadhaar seeded bank accounts or for candidates which have received the reward amount once under the PMKVY 1.0 scheme.
