Unemployment after vocational training The Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Skill Development and Entrepreneurship Shri Rajiv Pratap Rudy has said that as per 4th Annual employment and unemployment survey report (2013-14) of Labour Bureau under Ministry of Labour and Employment, about 76% of the persons in the age group of 15 years and above have reported to be employed at all India level who have received/receiving vocational training during the reference period. In a written reply in the Rajya Sabha today the Minister said the National Skill Development Mission provides the institutional framework to rapidly implement and scale up skill development efforts across India. The key bodies under the mission have been set up. The unemployment of trained youths indicates towards demand and supply mismatch of skill sets. To bridge the demand supply mismatch of skilled persons, Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship has launched Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana (PMKVY). PMKVY is a demand driven scheme envisaging sector wise job oriented skill training programme with close participation of industry in training and development of course curriculum and standards.
