Lend A Hand India

Economic Survey: Lend A Hand India model to operationalise Vocational Education We are excited to announce that Lend A Hand India has received significant recognition from the Government of India. Our work has been featured in the Economic Survey of India 2023-24, which is an important annual publication by the Ministry of Finance. Chapter 7.68 of the survey dedicates a paragraph to our model, showcasing not only our approach to Vocational Education but also how civil society can collaborate to implement government policies. Here’s an excerpt from the survey: "7.68: To implement vocational education across the learning ladder, the model of Lend A Hand India (LAHI), an NGO, is a good example. The LAHI model involves civil society’s collaboration with the government to introduce vocational education as a core curriculum component, establish labs, recruit and train vocational trainers, organize internships, and provide placement support. By offering comprehensive vocational education services and engaging with key stakeholders, civil society can actively participate in implementing the innovative features of NEP 2020." This recognition is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our entire team. While we never sought such accolades, it is incredibly rewarding to see our efforts acknowledged on such a prestigious platform. We are hopeful about collaborating with many partners from civil society who can play an active role in implementing the novel features of NEP 2020. Find more information at https://lnkd.in/gpx5U2Kp.

At Rajkiya Sarvodaya Bal Vidyalaya in West Vinod Nagar, East Delhi, German Federal Minister of Labor and Social Affairs, Hubertus Heil recently visited our Skills on Wheels bus as part of the 7th intergovernmental consultations (IGC) and the Migration Treaty between India and Germany. The school is a proposed partner for a three-year vocational training program in Germany in the sectors of IT, Healthcare and Engineering. Minister Heil observed students using vocational tools on the bus, experiencing their projects firsthand as they gained hands-on skills that align with global standards. Backed by both governments and industry leaders, the partnership symbolizes a shared commitment to youth empowerment and skill-based migration, ensuring economic growth and welfare in both nations. A large German delegation also joined to explore growth avenues, showcasing the future of international collaboration in vocational education.
