Now, B Voc in entrepreneurship, retail

The Apparel Training and Design Centre (ATDC) will start a bachelors in vocation programme for two

streams — apparel manufacturing and entrepreneurship, and fashion design and retailing.

Pursuing higher studies in vocational subjects has often remained a challenge for many students as

not many universities offer degree programmes in these subjects. Moreover, it has also been difficult

for students, without proper degrees, to apply in foreign universities in vocational subjects.

Taking this into consideration, the University Grants Commission (UGC) had rolled out Bachelors in

Vocation (B.Voc) in 2013. and the All India Council of Technical Education (AICTE) signed an MoU

with the Centre in December 2014, to start its first degree course in vocational courses.

"The major advantage is that the degree course is approved by AICTE. Now, it will be easier for

students to pursue higher education in foreign universities and even reputed Indian universities that

don't offer admission to diploma holders," said Ranjna Thakur, a resident of Sector 14 who aspires to

take up fashion design and retailing at ATDC.

The three-year degree courses will have 2,000 hours dedicated to skill training and 1,000 hours to

theory and personality development skills. The degree is be affiliated by Rajiv Gandhi National

Institute of Youth Development.

The centre targets to educate 500 candidates through 13 ATDC centers across the country. The centre

also aims to provide the international industrial exposure in countries like Sri Lanka, Japan and

Korea.

Sushant Verma, 21, a diploma holder in apparel manufacturing, had wanted to pursue higher

education from a foreign university but could not as he did not have a degree.

Experts believe that the approved degree programme will bridge the gap of skilled workforce in the

apparel industry. "B.voc course addresses the critical knowledge and skill-sets required to make the

candidate industry ready right from the start and also make young-entrepreneurs in the apparel-retail

sector. It is a set of formal education and skill components which generates more employment

opportunities," said Dr. Darlie Koshy, DG & CEO of ATDC.

B.Voc programmes are based on the National Skill Qualification Framework (NSQF) approved by

AICTE.

Training & Design centre for formalizing my training in apparel pattern making apparel construction

through ATDC, which is India’s largest vocational training provider for apparel sector.

How was your journey at the Apparel Training & Design Centre (ATDC)?

It was a wonderful experience to be trained by professionals in the trade.

ATDC in News



In which way has ATDC supported you in your journey in World skills?

ATDC centres are equipped with the latest machinery for sewing, pressing, finishing. These modern

high speed machines and finishing equipment helped me in achieving the international quality

parameters and provided me with technical know-how for garment manufacturing. The experienced

trainersand my expert Gurpreet Kaur have helped me to understand the aspects / sub-criteria of the

modules and helped in improving my timing. ATDC sponsored the training material, tool-kit etc and

supported me with a stipendiary support of Rs 10000 per month. ATDC gave me the platform to

participate in world skills and sponsored my participation in all aspects. My trainers, experts and

To represent India at this level is itself a big achievement for me. I am very happy that I got this

opportunity and want to make myself, my family, my friends, my nation and last but not the least

ATDC, which made me capable of reaching this level, proud of me. This is a great platform for me to

I have inherited these skills from my ancestors and I want to continue with this work with more

innovations and creativity. I want to set an example for others who really wants to achieve something

big in their lives. People from rural background can also come to such great height by following their

dreams. In future, I want to see myself as one of the most famous and renowned garment exporter of

India.

What are the challenges you are facing for the preparation of world Skill competition?

To be able to complete the task in the given time and present my creation in a timebound manner is

what I am concentrating on. I am doing MOCKs every week and trying to improve my timing. The

challenge in this World Skill is that there are two new mystery modules which are being taken up for

the first time. One on draping and second on sketching. I am prepared well as these are unknown

modules.
