Visit to ITI Chd class viii : Bagless days 

 

Why and how ITIs started

 

21 November 2025

1. CHANDIGARH, NOV. 21, 2025 – Seventy-seven Class 8 students from PM SHRI Kendriya Vidyalaya, OCF Sector 29, gained first-hand exposure to the world of technical education today during a comprehensive visit to the Government Model Industrial Training Institute (ITI) in Sector 28. 
2. The initiative was part of the central government's innovative "10 Bagless Days Programme," which aims to integrate vocational experiences into mainstream schooling as envisioned by the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020.
3. The day-long visit was designed to bridge the gap between theoretical classroom learning and practical industry requirements, offering students valuable insights into potential skill development and career pathways.
4. Upon arrival at the Model ITI, known for its state-of-the-art facilities and commitment to skill development, the students were welcomed by the institute's principal and faculty. 
5. They were guided through various departments, where they witnessed live demonstrations of core trades, including electrical, mechanical, and information technology. 
6. Students observed complex machinery, innovative projects (such as those using recycled materials), and the day-to-day operations of the training facility.
7. A key highlight of the visit was an interactive session where students engaged directly with industry experts and ITI trainees. 
8. This provided them an opportunity to ask questions, understand the practical application of the skills being taught, and learn about the diverse career prospects available in these fields.
9. "The purpose of this programme is to provide life experiences through various activities like carpentry, plumbing, etc., and exposure to art and crafts," said a school official, emphasizing the programme's alignment with NEP 2020 objectives. Such visits play a crucial role in encouraging experiential learning and help students make informed choices about their future careers
10. The students expressed great enthusiasm for the programme, noting that the hands-on experience broadened their understanding of vocational education. 
11. Both the participating students and accompanying teachers lauded the initiative as a "resounding success," underscoring the importance of such practical exposure in nurturing interest in skill-based professions.
12. Officials from both institutions hoped the visit would inspire more students to consider vocational training as a viable and rewarding educational path, addressing the existing skill gap in various industries. 
13. The successful collaboration highlights effective resource sharing between educational institutions in Chandigarh.

• 

सुप्रभात सभी को, आज हम अपने पुस्तकालय में एक बहुत ही विशेष अवसर पर एकत्र हुए हैं—

बाल दिवस। 

• यह दिन हमें बच्चों की मुस्कान, जिज्ञासा और कल्पनाशीलता की याद दिलाता है, जो हमारे विद्यालय को जीवंत बनाते हैं।
• पंडित जवाहरलाल नेहरू जी का मानना था कि बच्चे देश की असली ताकत हैं और उज्ज्वल भविष्य की नींव हैं।
•  इसलिए आज हम उन्हें सम्मानित कर रहे हैं—किताबों, मिठाइयों और कहानियों के साथ।
• हमने आपके लिए नई पुस्तकों की प्रदर्शनी तैयार की है, जो आपको नई दुनिया की सैर पर ले जाएंगी। साथ ही, मिठाइयाँ और टॉफियाँ इस दिन को और भी मीठा बना देंगी।
• आइए, हम सब मिलकर पढ़ें, मुस्कुराएँ और इस बाल दिवस को यादगार बनाएं। आप सभी को बाल दिवस की हार्दिक शुभकामनाएँ!
