Notification would be sent to the respective SRLM by MoRD marking a copy of Sanction Order. Within 15 days of receipt of sanction order or uploading of sanction order on the website, SRLM must provide necessary information to the district authorities immediately.The District Administration headed by the District Collector plays a key role in implementation of DDU-GKY projects. In the districts where the NRLM is launched and in all APS formation of District Mission Management Unit (DMMU) is mandatory. In all other districts, where DMMU has not been constituted, the District Collector will form a DMMU by designating a key person as DMMU coordinator and nominating a team of officers to support the coordinator.For these appointments, the Collector will be guided by the instructions, if any, issued by SRLM. However, in the absence of any such instructions the Collector will act as per the local conditions.

 The District Administration and DMMU will broadly have the following 3 functions:

A.        Mobilization

• The PIA will appraise the DMMU about the mobilization plan and its execution plan as finalized with SRLM indicated in section 6.1 along-with the list of Gram panchayats for mobilization of candidates. 
• The PIA will also brief the DMMU on the screening methodology to be adopted by them and the domain training they intend to offer to the candidates from that block. The PIA shall share their activity plan, mobilization calendar, entitlement chart and any other relevant information useful for the candidates with the DMMU so that transparency is established and maintained in implementing the scheme.
• The DMMU will facilitate mobilization of the candidates with the right aptitude and necessary qualifications for the domain. In the mobilization process DMMU will actively engage Village Level Organizations (VLOs).
• The PIA’s shall inform the DMMU in advance about the scheduled dates for Parent – Trainer interaction, so that the DMMU team can plan its participation in advance.
• It is further clarified that role of DMMU and other Government functionaries is that of facilitating the PIA’s in targeting the youth for mobilization and in ensuring that the candidates and parents are informed about the scheme. The government functionaries are not expected to do selection of candidates or finalizing the list of candidates etc. These activities are within the purview of PIA as their payments are linked to training and placing the candidates.
• The process should be repeated till all the eligible candidates in the village are mobilized and screened.
• The DMMU will identify potential centres for job fairs and submit a budget to SRLM to be included in their budget. This will be based on the information collected from the VLOs.

B.        Placement and Tracking

• PIA shall submit list of youth who have been placed from the district along with details of placement, geographical distribution (i.e. - within district domicile, within state domicile, outside state domicile and outside the country) and gender break-up to the DMMU. PIA should provide contact numbers of the coordinator, training centre in charge and the employers. The DMMU will in turn pass these details to the VLOs.
• In case of female candidates DMMU will track them for 6 months. It will make a total of 3 calls to each candidate, i.e. - in 1^st, 3^rd and 6^th month. The tracking details have to be uploaded on the designated web-link by DMMU. DMMU will be given an id and password for uploading the tracking data. The data will be shared with government functionaries as per situational needs but will not be available for public view.

C.        Capacity building for Sub district functionaries

•  Dissemination of knowledge to key field officials of government departments is of vital importance for successful implementation of DDU-GKY. DMMU should organize periodic workshops for the VLOs and BDOs about DDU-GKY. This shall be done on a quarterly basis.
• Workshops will be organized with modules on a) basics of DDU-GKY and its importance, b) mobilization, screening and identification of youth, c) placement and tracking and d) role of district and sub district functionaries, PRIs and VLOs in the programme.
