The MSME Ministry has decided to continue the “Assistance to Training Institutions” (ATI) scheme during XII Plan 2012-17 with suitable improvements, said Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises, K. H. Muniyappa in a written reply to a question in the Rajya Sabha on Monday. The decision came after the scheme was recommended by an independent agency's evaluation of the scheme.
The evaluation report observed that the catalytic role played by the Ministry of MSME in creation of training, infrastructure and employment generation under the ATI scheme has been highly beneficial & cost effective.
The evaluation further stated that the scheme assumes national importance as it is contributing towards rapid escalation of training and skill development and hence should be extended in the XII Five Year Plan. It also recommended for marginal increase in the limits of financial assistance for creation/strengthening of infrastructure and per hour per trainee rate for conducting training programmes.
The evaluation was done with reference to the performance of the scheme as a whole and hence, there was no specific observation with reference to any particular State.
Under the ATI Scheme, 84 programmes were conducted in Maharashtra to train 2,270 persons at a cost of Rs 1.98 crore during 2011-12. During the current year 152 programmes to train 4,200 persons at a cost of Rs 4.04 crore have been allocated, the minister added in the reply.
