1.0 MESSAGE FROM CHAIRMAN – MR. S. RAMADORAI
The Age of Asian Innovation has begun and India is well poised to lead the way in
leading these efforts. Our 'less is more' approach is being recognized by many,
leading to reverse innovation solutions being adopted by the developed world. With
a heterogeneous mix of people, languages and culture, innovators in India also have
an opportunity to develop products, services and solutions to a diverse pool of
customers.
At the National Skill Development Corporation, we create, fund and enable an
ecosystem that promotes vocational skills as a means to higher productivity for the industry, upward mobility
and lifelong learning for the emerging workforce. NSDC's work pans 21 sectors, including formal and informal
sectors. The diversity of this portfolio offers any innovator an opportunity for scale and sustainable growth in
the years to come.
In line with our efforts to promote innovations that add value to the evolving skilling ecosystem, NSDC has
earmarked a special fund to promote such innovations in these sectors. For those innovators who would like to
partner with NSDC's training partners, our team has come with the first edition of the Innovation for Skills
compendium highlighting over 20 innovations from across the country. This will be an on-going effort.
I hope you find this easy-to-use reference guide useful and adopt some of them in your organization. I also
welcome you to submit innovative practices within your organization to our team so we can together develop
an innovation culture in the years to come.

Adviser to the PM in the Prime Minister's National Skill Development Council
Chairman – National Skill Development Corporation
2.0. MESSAGE FROM MD/CEO, NSDC – MR. DILIP M. CHENOY
Introduction to the Skills Compendium
NSDC's Innovation for Skills Compendium is a first of its kind effort to highlight and
present innovations that have the potential to add value to the vocational skilling
ecosystem in the country. Innovators have been crowd sourced through different
networks, internal references and feedback from NSDC Training Partners. All
submissions are voluntary
The objective of this effort is to recognize the need for innovations across different
activities in the value chain, from sourcing candidates to financing to market linkages and post-training
engagement. Over 20 Innovations have been profiled in this compendium, addressing many of these areas, and
we have tried to make it actionable. Almost all innovators we have profiled believe that the skilling ecosystem
will evolve significantly in the coming years, and that NSDC Partners are best placed to lead and benefit from
these changes
Role of Skills Innovation Champion
We do recognize many of you have found innovative ways to address challenges in your own organization,
either through new methods of delivery, strong internal assessment, dynamic courseware, or use of Trainers as
Counselors. NSDC is keen to profile these in the subsequent compendium so there is recognition of your work,
and also help propagate best practices in the ecosystem
We also propose each organization that recognizes an innovation that can add value, to identify an internal
champion to steer the innovation piece. This Skills Innovation Champion could be anybody in your organization,
the technology person, the finance person, the center manager, master trainer or even senior leadership. This
would ensure that any additional effort is best managed with a time-bound and outcome-based mechanism
Role of NSDC Innovation Team
At NSDC, we will continue to compile and share these innovations, and would request your support in these
efforts. To begin with, we have developed a quick diagnostic tool that will help assess your organization's
innovation effectiveness based on your internal priorities. The Compendium is structured to address any
perceived gaps you may recognize from this effort, and would like to engage going forward. Contact details of
these innovators are provided along with a one-page profile of their work
Please do mail your suggestions, feedback or innovations you want to be highlighted in the next compendium
to innovation@nsdcindia.org

potential of their candidates
Innovation Brief
We are proposing three major innovations :

ESP (English for Specific Purpose) is the technical term for Domain context English learning solution. This is now an
established field with proven outcomes in English language learning. In this methodology the entire content is

Lack of immediate and relevant feedback for learners
