Capacity-Building Programme on CBSE Kaushal Vikas

Ms. Reshu Mehendiratta, teacher from Salwan Boys Sr Sec School, attended a Capacity-Building Programme on CBSE Kaushal Vikas for Class IX organised at Arwachin Public School, Vivek Vihar, Delhi, on 29 September 2026.
The workshop was conducted by CBSE Resource persons, Dr. C. B. Mishra, Director-Principal, Prudence School, and Ms. Sonia Bhatia, Coordinator, National Victor Public School. The workshop focused on developing a clear understanding of the objectives, curriculum and effective classroom implementation of Kaushal Vikas.
The resource persons explained that Kaushal Vikas aims to provide students with opportunities for practical, experiential and activity-based learning. Emphasis was laid on the principle of “learning by doing”, enabling learners to develop practical competence, creativity, confidence, self-reliance and independence rather than relying only on theoretical knowledge.
The workshop provided detailed guidance regarding the Class IX syllabus, compulsory chapters and activities to be undertaken with students. The connection between Kaushal Bodh and Kaushal Vikas at the primary and secondary levels was explained. The resource persons discussed how classroom activities can be linked with real-life situations and help students understand the practical application of knowledge. Special emphasis was placed on hands-on activities, creativity, skill development and identification of the inherent talents of learners. The session also highlighted the role of teachers in making Kaushal Vikas engaging, meaningful and relevant through appropriate activities and practical learning experiences.
The workshop was highly informative and provided useful strategies for integrating skill-based learning into classroom teaching. It enhanced the teachers’ understanding of the purpose and implementation of Kaushal Vikas and reinforced the importance of preparing students with practical skills that can support them in real-life situations.
