| An elective subject for all Class 11th streams | | NCERT to introduce craft course soon | |
NEW DELHI: With the craft sector offering the second largest employment opportunity in the country, NCERT has prepared a textbook which seeks to help students find jobs in this sector or start independent ventures.
Titled as 'Living Craft Tradition of India,' the textbook will be introduced from the coming academic session in Class XI as an elective subject for all streams.
According to NCERT, the textbook is basically a new curriculum that incorporates cultural, social and creative aspects of the country's rich craft tradition into the educational system through both theory and practice.
The subject - to be taught in Class XII also - will open doors for students to pursue a field of their choice for further study and specialisation, NCERT spokesperson B C Patro said.
"Students may take this subject and join an export business or start a venture of their own or train in business management or economics," he said.
"Some might even specialise in museum studies, history, sociology or even anthropology," Patro added.
Statistics reveal that the sector, other than being a primary source of employment opportunity, is also the highest contributor to export earnings.
