ShikshaDaan Yatra UpdateMay 2015

Cold calling leads to hot prospect !

We were on our morning walk in Mandi and saw the ITI there … just walked in and stumbled upon a great ITI story in Himachal.


Cold calling leads to hot prospect !

The ITI staff & faculty asked us to address the 9.30 am assembly and you can see me in my track pants doing just that. We came back the next day to address the 8.30 am assembly.


Discovery of Centres of excellence !!


• The staff and faculty of ITI, Mandi suggested that we should meet with the Director (Technical Education) who was at Sunder Nagar, just 20 kms from Mandi.

• An email to the Director got us a call within 20 mins and we met him the next day.

• We found out that ITI’s in Himachal are centres of excellence and other states are talking of adopting the HP Model

• Nearly 150 Govt run ITI’s and 57000 students. Approx 10% are from BPL families, the target segment for ShikshaDaan

• Most students get placement or they get self-employed. For girl students, Fashion Designing and cutting and sewing courses ensure they can earn a living from home.

The placement story

We visited the ITI Shahpur next and saw that the placement story is simply awesome. World class organizations hire from ITI’s in HP. 64 students of ITI Shahpur for instance have been placed in the Ashok Leyland campus in Dubai.


The ITI-ShikshaDaan partnership

• Proposal submitted to Director (Technical Education)• 100 scholarships (Rs. 15 Lakhs) committed for the

year 2015-16• Opportunity to scale up to 5000 scholarships• Suggestions of new courses and additional corporate

involvement for specific skills• Scale up across India after refining the model with

the pilot project.


• June to Aug 2015 – Maharashtra, Goa, parts of Andhra/Telangana.• Oct to Dec 2015 – North East, Sikkim• Jan to March 2016 – Gujarat, Rajasthan• April to June 2016 – J&K, Uttaranchal• July to Sept 2016 – U.P, Haryana• Oct to Dec 2016 – M.P, Chattisgarh, Tamil Nadu• Jan to March 2017 – Bihar, Jharkhand, T.S• April to June 2017 – West Bengal, Orissa• July to Sept 2017 – Punjab, Maharashtra• Oct to Dec 2017 – Kerala, Karnataka, Andhra• The union territories will be done along with one of the states closest to them.
