Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham is proud to announce the successful grant award for the Blended Learning Project, led by Dr. Bhavani Rao, Director of Ammachi Labs, in collaboration with Dr. Ramya K. Prasad, Co-Principal Investigator and Project Manager at Amrita Consultancy Centre for Innovative Multimedia Solutions (ACIMS), Mysuru. This grant was generously sponsored by The National Instructional Media Institute (NIMI) and Corporate Clients of ACIMS.

Project Overview:

The Blended Learning Project focuses on developing cutting-edge e-learning content for ITI education under the Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship, Government of India. The content includes a series of instructional videos and 2D/3D animations, designed to make critical trade topics such as Fitter, Electrician, Welder, and Turner more engaging and accessible to ITI students.

These videos will be uploaded to the Bharat Skills Portal, enhancing skill development across India by providing high-quality, easily understandable, and multilingual educational resources.

Envisioned Outcomes:

• The development of e-learning videos on 20 work orders related to ITI education.
• Videos produced in English, and translated into 8 regional languages, will be shared on the Bharat Skills Portal.
• The project will contribute significantly to the development of skilled workers, enhancing India’s technical workforce.

Key Contributions & Impact:

This project aims to bridge the gap between industry demands and skill supply, supporting the Government’s vision of a Skilled India. By providing easily accessible training materials, the project will help scale vocational education and upskill a large number of individuals across various trades.

Recognition & Scale:

The project has already been recognized by NIMI for its high-quality production, including exceptional video content and 2D/3D animations. The team’s work in color correction and video editing has been showcased as a benchmark for other vendors. What started with the Fitter trade has now expanded to include additional trades like Electrician, Welder, and Turner.

We also celebrate the collaborative efforts of students and faculty from the Department of Visual Communication, who have gained valuable hands-on experience through this project, further enriching their academic journey and practical skills.

We are excited to see the continued success of this transformative project, which plays a key role in building a skilled workforce for India’s future.
