(a) and (b) Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship is implementing Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana (PMKVY) for imparting skill training in the country with effective monitoring framework. Under PMKVY 2015-16, action on complaints against Training Centers and Monitoring of Training Centers is performed as per Monitoring Framework of PMKVY 2015-16. Complaints received under Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana (PMKVY) 2015-16 are mostly related to fake enrolment and irregularities in conduct of training, improper trainings and lack of infrastructure in the centre, franchisor franchisee dispute and mass enrolment.
However, under modified PMKVY 2016-20, focus on continuous monitoring for tracking effective functioning of skill centre has been envisaged. Under this self-audit reporting, call validations, surprise visits and monitoring through the Skills Development Management System (SDMS) have been adopted.
Under PMKVY scheme, around 133 Training Centres / Training Partners have been suspended from conducting skill training.
