RPL does not mandate placement as it orients and certifies candidate with prior learning experience or skills. The State-wise number of certified candidates under RPL-PMKVY 2.0 (2016-20) is given at Annexure.
(b) A Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) pilot project with a focus on assessment and certification of skilled workers engaged with Gram Panchayats (GPs) or are likely to be engaged with Gram Panchayats, has been rolled out in two blocks each of the districts of Varanasi and Chandauli, Uttar Pradesh, which are as under:
• Block: Sevapuri (Rural) and Baragaon (Rural) in District Varanasi
• Block: Niyamatabad (Rural) and Shahabganj (Rural) in District Chandauli
All the 327 GPs in these blocks are being covered under this pilot project.
