Computerised Vocational Education at Amrita Vidyalayam Schools

One of the limitation of Indian education system is that it does not give due importance to vocational educa-tion. As a result there is a mismatch between the skilled manpower required and skilled manpower available. Every year, various colleges turn out millions of grad-uates who do not have the specific skills sets required by the market. This has resulted in the huge shortage of skilled workers. To rectify this situation, Vocational program need to be promoted in a big way. Given the urgent need for accessible and standardized vocation-al education in India, AMMACHI Labs in collaboration with Amrita Vidyalayam schools provides an innovative solution through MYSANGHAM portal. MySangham is

an online portal created by AMMACHI Labs that aims at making skill based education and employment ac-cessible to low income rural communities. Through computerized vocational education training, MySangham leverages technology to deliver education to the masses in India and elsewhere. Individuals using the portal become empowered Personally and Socially with knowledge and the opportunity to earn a livelihood in a field of their choice.

The role of the leader/reporter is to make sure everyone participates in the discussion and then is responsible for reporting the small group’s ideas back to the larger group.This role should change every time small groups are formed, so that all students gain practice in leadership and communication skills.
