Our Story
In December 2011, Tata Institute of Social Sciences set up the School of Vocational Education (SVE) to provide immediate and definite interventions to improve the lives of the disadvantaged and marginalized youth, especially who are excluded by the formal school education system, through appropriate vocational training programmes. It has been set up with a vision of creating an ecosystem that would bring back the dignity of labour for blue collar streams of work and create sustainable sources of income. This project has been initiated under the aegis of All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) proposed by the Ministry of HRD, Government of India.
Currently launched 20 verticals in Phase 1 of the program with Electronics being one of them
TISS WITP: Electronics Vertical - FGSPL

Apart from Degree and Diploma courses there are various short duration certifications courses relevant to Electronics sector.
In 2012, a team of 70 experienced professionals in Electronic Manufacturing Services (EMS) led by Amit Gupta were seeking a meaningful project to work on. During a visit to an Industrial Training Institute (ITI) in Maharashtra, Amit discovered that despite the top 5 brands having stopped selling CRT TVs in the Indian market, the students at ITI were being taught CRT TV repair.
This highlighted a clear disconnect between academia and industry needs, with students from poor backgrounds being taught irrelevant skills, leading to their exploitation. This experience inspired the team to venture into vocational education and launch FGSPL in 2013. The team developed a new curriculum on Panel TV Repair (1st of its kind in India) and focused on contemporary technical skills, with an emphasis on clear career paths and opportunities for entrepreneurship & placements abroad.
Today, FGSPL is one of the leading vocational skills companies in India, annually training around 20,000 people in domains like Electronics, Telecom, Renewable Energy, and New Age Skills across 30 centres in 18 states of India. This capacity is being ramped up to 50,000 people annually over next 18 months with the support of IT backbone.
We were successful in some & failed in many of our experiments but learnt a lot throughout this journey. Going forward, we continue to reimagine vocational training for our students from underserved communities, to unlock their true potential thereby helping our Nation leverage its Demographic Dividend Opportunity.
All this is only possible because of the sheer commitment of our passionate team & our partners’ belief in us.
In nutshell, 70 Nos direction-less people in 2008, have helped to skill up about 100,000 plus people and given them some form of livelihood.
