informal learning

Ludhiana, May 9
The Apparel Training and Design Centre (ATDC), vocational training provider for
the apparel sector, launched the first ‘Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)’
programme’ under the Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana (PMKVY), on the
factory premises of KG Exports here today.
The programme was held in collaboration with the National Skill Development
Corporation (NSDC).
“Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is a robust platform to provide recognition to
the skills acquired through informal learning, to get acceptance on a par with the
formal levels of education or skill development. The RPL is a process of assessment
of an individual’s prior learning to give due importance to ‘learning’ as an outcome
of the job, rather than learning as a process, not necessarily directed at economic
activity,” said Darlie Koshy, CEO, ATDC.

A 12-hour orientation workshop was held during which workers who had no formal
training in their field were addressed. In India, less than five to seven per cent of the
workforce is trained. Workers were given tips on hygiene, fire-safety measures and
operation of industrial machines etc during the workshop. A certificate was also
given to them.
In his address, Darlie Koshy said, “For a country like India, RPL is a necessity.
Considering the abysmal situation of formal training, prior learning through skills
developed on the job being assessed and evaluated later followed by top-up training
by the ATDC through third party certification is a welcome step.”
Rajat Bhatnagar, State Engagement Officer, National Skill Development Corporation
(NSDC), said, “The Indian apparel industry has seen an upward surge in demand in
the past few years and the industry is growing. However, the sector still has to
realise its huge potential. Despite a huge workforce, the industry is marred by
relatively low-productivity levels and faces tough competition in the exports market
from Bangladesh and China. Hence, it is imperative to identify skill gaps in the
industry and train the existing workforce under the RPL programme to enhance
their productivity. In addition, the programme provides formal recognition to
people with specific abilities and gets them certified as per the industry standards.”

evaluated and certified for the skills that they possess and probably would have
compared their own skills at some stage with those who came with skill qualification
can now look forward to better career opportunities !
After Ludhiana, ATDC will take up RPL in other states like Punjab, Kerala, Tamil

Provider for the Apparel sector launched the first “Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) Programme”
under Pradhan Mantri Kaushal VikasYojana (PMKVY) 2.0, the flagship scheme of the Ministry of Skill
Development & Entrepreneurship (MSDE), Government of India at the factory premises of KG
Exports at Ludhiana, Punjab. The Dignitaries who graced the occasion included Mr. Rajat Bhatnagar,
State Engagement Officer, National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC), and Ms. Kirti Jain,
Assistant Director Operations North of Apparel Made-Ups Home Furnishing Sector Skill Council
(AMHSCC), Convener LMC, Mr. Ajit Lakra and Director General & CEO ATDC, Dr. Darlie Koshy.
Managing Director of KG Exports, Mr. Harish Dua and ATDC RPL Team led by Ms. Neera Chandra,
Ms. Roopali Shukla and Sr. Dy. Registrar. Mr. Rajesh Masiwal managed the RPL process with
candidates to be trained under RPL were present at the launch ceremony.
Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is a robust platform to provide recognition to the skills acquired
through informal learning to get equal acceptance as the formal levels of education or skill
development. It aims to recognize prior learning and bring them to the “trained skilled workforce
cadre”. In short, RPL is a process of assessment of an individual’s prior learning to give due
importance to ‘learning’ as an outcome on the job rather than learning as a process not necessarily
directed at economic activity.
Dr. Koshy DG & CEO said on the occasion: RPL for a country like India is an absolutenecessity as
only about 7% -10% of the workforce have received any formal vocational training. In some section it
is less than even 5%.Considering this abysmal situation prior learning through skills developed on the
jobbeing assessed and evaluate later top-up training by ATDC through 3rd
party certification is a
welcome step.
Mr. Jayant Krishna, COO NSDC said; “The Indian apparel industry has seen an upward surge in the
demand in the past few years and the industry is showing buoyancy by way of market growth.
However, the sector has still to realise much of its huge potential. Despite huge workforce, the
industry is marred by relatively low productivity levels and faces tough competition in the exports
market from Bangladesh and China. Hence, it is imperative to identify skill gaps in the industry and
train the existing workforce under the RPL programme to enhance their productivity. In addition, the
programme provides formal recognition to the people with specific abilities and gets them certified as
per the industry standards. We are happy to initiate this project and are certain that it will benefit as
well as motivate workers”
In his welcome address, Dr. Darlie Koshy – DG and CEO, ATDC added: For ATDC, its DNA is
connected to the Apparel Export Sector and it is well equipped to be a leader in RPL as almost all the
export units are having a good number of ATDC alumni and the industry considers ATDC training as
gold standard. ATDC’s taking up RPL will certainly help the industry units to take it more seriously
and with extra interest. The huge workforce in apparel factory will have an opportunity to be evaluated
and certified for the skills that they possess and probably would have compared their own skills at
some stage with those who came with skill qualification can now look forward to better career
opportunities !
After Ludhiana, ATDC will take up RPL in other states like Punjab, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Telangana,
Madhya Pradesh and West Bengal to cover 13, 000 candidates. ATDC will be executing a twelve-
hour orientation for the candidates followed by 3rd party Assessment and Certification. Certified

with NSDC, launched first RPL training in apparel sector
Ludhiana : The Apparel Training and Design Centre (ATDC), vocational training
provider for the apparel sector, launched the first ‘Recognition of Prior Learning
(RPL)’ programme’ under the Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana (PMKVY), on
the factory premises of KG Exports. The programme was held in collaboration with
the National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC).“Recognition of Prior Learning
(RPL) is a robust platform to provide recognition to the skills acquired through
informal learning, to get acceptance on a par with the formal levels of education or
skill development. The RPL is a process of assessment of an individual’s prior
learning to give due importance to ‘learning’ as an outcome of the job, rather than
learning as a process, not necessarily directed at economic activity,” said Darlie
Koshy, CEO, ATDC.A 12-hour orientation workshop was held during which
workers who had no formal training in their field were addressed. In India, less than
five to seven per cent of the workforce is trained. Workers were given tips on
hygiene, fire-safety measures and operation of industrial machines etc during the
workshop. A certificate was also given to them.In his address, Darlie Koshy said,
“For a country like India, RPL is a necessity. Considering the abysmal situation of
formal training, prior learning through skills developed on the job being assessed
and evaluated later followed by top-up training by the ATDC through third party
certification is a welcome step.”Rajat Bhatnagar, State Engagement Officer, National
Skill Development Corporation (NSDC), said, “The Indian apparel industry has seen
an upward surge in demand in the past few years and the industry is growing.

the industry is marred by relatively low-productivity levels and faces tough
competition in the exports market from Bangladesh and China. Hence, it is
