Nai Manzil aims to improve labor market outcomes by offering youth from religious minority groups an integrated education and skills training program. The World Bank project that supports the Nai Manzil Scheme was signed on December 30, 2015 and became effective on February 10, 2016. The overall target under Nai Manzil is to train approximately 100,000 Minority candidates. In 2016-17 (Phase I), the Ministry of Minority Affairs (MoMA) signed contracts with 38 Project Implementing Agencies (PIAs) to train approximately 70,000 youth in 22 states across India. In order to reach the remaining target of 30,000 youth, MoMA hired 73 PIAs in 2017-18 (Phase II). With the new PIAs on board, more than 96,000 beneficiaries 6/5/2019 Page 1 of 5 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Nai Manzil - Education and Skills Training for Minorities (P156363) have been enrolled under the project across 27 states and 2 Union Territories. A high-level Steering Committee and a Technical Advisory Committee have been providing supervision and guidance for project implementation. In order to verify attainment of key targets under the project, an Independent Verification Agency (IVA) was hired by MoMA. MoMA has also hired a Monitoring & Evaluation (M&E) firm, an Information Education and Communications (IEC) firm, and a firm to establish a robust Management Information System (MIS) for the project. To date, 5,737 students have received a secondary education certificate (11.62 percent of those enrolled in secondary education in Phase I) and 44,098 have received a nationally recognized skills certificate (63.96 percent of those enrolled in Phase I). 19,592 of the Phase I beneficiaries enrolled in Grade 8 studies, of which 51.37 percent (10,066) passed the examination and received a certificate.
