India’s Current Skill Development Initiatives Faces a Number of Challenges
§ 350 Million people need to be provided with skills that would give them employment
§ Demand for skills is con=nuously changing in eco-‐system
§ Current Training Programs have focused on content and assessments.
§ We follow a one-‐size fits all approach.
§ Training programs effec=veness is significantly constrained by ability of learners to comprehend and internalize.
§ Not All Learners are the same.
India’s Current Skill Development Initiatives Faces a Number of Challenges
It is found that visual presentation through the use of pictures was advantageous for all adults, irrespective of a high or low IQ levels
Experiential learning is the process of making meaning from direct experience. This triggers the learners into questioning:
Human learn through the three main sensory
receivers: Visual, Auditory, and Kinesthetic(movement)
Learners use all three modalities to receive and
learn new information and experiences.
Did you notice...? Why did that happen?
Does that happen in life? Why does that happen? How can you use that?
The current training methods and tools are inadequate
Heavy Dependency on Skill Of Trainer
Training Aids are restricted to course books and flip charts
Restricted Budgets for training limit ability to use
video and other tools
Poor Infrastructure makes it hard to effectively use
technology
Focus of Aids is not on helping internalize
concepts
Not All Training Infrastructure is
Uniformly equipped
Challenges with Current Training
Pedagogy
Since the majority of people have a low educational level. We felt a need to develop learning aids, that would facilitate easy understanding of the skill. Integrating Visual & Experiential learning to develop aids, that could be used to teach people. As a pilot project we developed aids that could be used to teach people the basic principles related to shutter carpentry. The kit was developed after researching and understanding the problems faced by trainers as well as students across India The kit is being designed and developed by a team of designers who are also educators, considering the cognitive and behavioural psychology of a learner
We have invested R&D efforts to create a kit that enables experiential learning
• Effective learning without dependency on literacy / schooling • Learning from an authorized body is more reliable so getting a
labor who is trained in such a way is advantageous too • It is more scientific than informal training that happens on
location • Learning from peer and sharing with peers is important in a
learning environment • Group activity gains more motivation than training alone • Exposure to correct techniques, conducive learning and thinking
environment • Increased confidence level • Experiential & visual learning • Learning by playing is very effective. Here the puzzles help in
memorizing the facts in a very curious and engaging way. Similarly the scaled down working models which the candidates can work with helps them understand concepts and even nuances in a very easy way. It allows them to commit mistakes which is very important in learning .

Advantages of our kit
We believe we can scale up our R&D efforts and create a sustainable venture for building out learning aids
R&D PROCESS
TYPES OF LEARNING
AIDS
SCALE UP
R&D Types of Aids Scale Up
§ Our R&D process includes the following steps: • Understanding Course Requirements
and Modules • Designing Aids based Module
requirements • Pilot the Aids in filed and prove proof
of concept • Iterate on design and finalize design
post feedback
§ We intend to set up a Micro Enterprise in Coimbatore
§ The Micro Enterprise will be established with the sole aim of manufacturing of learning aids
§ This enterprise will employee people trained from our livelihood center
§ Our Learnings Aids will include the following: • Miniatures of tools and objects • Puzzles • Games • Learning Cards • Quizzes
Our Proposed Plan • Our current pilot project is for shuttering carpentry. We have on boarded a team of designers and intend to design kits for all our
other 60 courses. • The kits will be built by micro-enterprise we intend to set up in Coimbatore. This enterprise will also give an opportunity to employ
skilled manpower from our livelihood centers.
Market Need Beyond LabourNet • There are no such learning aids available in the skill development eco-system today. • NIMI and other agencies only offer course books and course guides • There is an opportunity for this enterprise to be sustainable because of the demand in the market
We need support to help develop more such aids and scale it out
Our Asks
• The basic machineries required would be machines that could be used with materials such as wood, metal, plastic etc
• Some of the machines would be Drilling machine, Lathe machine, Hand injection moulding, etc
• We would require approximately 5000sqft of space to setup the machineries.
• Skilled manpower could be trained to help in the development of these kits. • Women can also be employed. • The total investment required would be around 100 lakhs for land and
infrastructure development. • The present kit cost around Rs.12,000 which includes the production,
material & labour cost. • If we manufacture the kits in bulk using machineries we can bring down the
cost of manufacture. Our Requirement
• INR 100,00,000/- To Set Up a Sustainable Micro-Enterprise in Coimbatore to Manufacture Kits • Marketing and Branding Support to Promote the Kits
Opportunity to create learning aids for 100 courses across these sectors
