strongly suggest that one should contact DEIS,

NGO’s, Thane at www.IndianNGOs.com

PSSCIVE at Bhopal, part of NCERT/MHRD.
PSSCIVE syllabus can also be adapted for
Levels 1&1a.
Level 3, 4 & 5 – International Level, World Class,
English medium, contact i Watch for City &

Holistic Plan for VET
1. Map the Enterprises as a National
Data Bank
Identify all economic activity in a geographical zone
• Village wise

Information to be compiled street wise and area wise
Information to be compiled category wise/enterprise
2. Register all Institutions in VET
1. Identify the type of Institution
2. Types of courses offered
3. Duration, costs, entry level qualifications
4. Facilities and Infrastructure offered
5. Tie-ups for practical training, if not inhouse
6. Certification offered & Quality Assurance
7. Details about the faculty
3. Amend National Labour Policy –
especially in regard to VET
1. Depending upon the size of the enterprise,
trainees/apprentices can be kept and used
2. Draw out rules for their part time employment
3. Can be paid a stipend – on days worked
4. No conflict with permanent staff
5. No guarantee of a permanent job
6. Maximum stipend will be minimum wages
4. Get the Best Possible Syllabus
1. Start off with the best possible & proven courses,
e.g., those from City & Guilds, U.K.
2. Consider the use of courses from Germany, available
from GTZ in New Delhi
3. Use these courses for Levels 3, 4 and 5 as they must
be World Class
4. If required amend some of these courses, to suit
Indian conditions
5. Develop, within India, Level 1 & 2 courses
6. VET courses must be developed in all Indian
languages, since only 5% of Indians understand
English
VET courses from City & Guilds, U.K.

Use of TV & Radio for Education
• Too much emphasis given to Cinema & TV serials on TV
and Radio media, and very little for Nation Building
Social Causes & Education neglected, in the last 55 yrs.
• India is a poor country and needs to give high priority for
education, VET, SKD …300 million are unemployed,
450/600 million are illiterate, 300 million are below the
poverty line as per GOI (440 million as the World Bank
estimates of US$ 1 per day earning per person)
• Ministry of I&B needs to work with Centre and States.
M of HRD & M of Labour should insist for at least one
dedicated channel, 24 hours per day, in each language,
ONLY for all forms of Education & Social Causes.
English channels are NOT enough, since ONLY 5%
understand English.
