 1. RATIONALE

Success & Sustainability of any Training System depends upon the availability of good
quality instructors in addition to other aspects. An Instructor should possess, besides trade
skills, “Skills to Transfer Skills”. To cope up this quality possession of core skills is imperative.
Ability to read Engineering Drawing is essential to perform a job / task of Engineering Trades. It
is the skills set which enables comprehending the given job and subsequent planning to
complete the task/job. Thus it is regarded as core skills for all Engineering trades.

Knowledge of Engineering Drawing creates the foundation for acquiring hard skills. It is
the initial/ inherent knowledge set which enables analyzing the given job and subsequent detail
planning such as selecting proper tools, equipments & machineries, Material of cutting tool etc.
It is the inherent knowledge set which enables to analyze the given job - Quantitatively and
Qualitatively.

Thus, Engineering Drawing is regarded as a core skill set for acquiring hard skills in all
Engineering Trades. Recognizing this importance of the core skills, the subject of Engineering
Drawing is made integral part of all Engineering Trades for Craft Instructors Training Scheme
(CITS) under DGT, MSDE. This RPL variant for Engineering Drawing subject is a substitute of
drawing portion of RoD&A and aimed at providing training to trade Instructors to become
Engineering Drawing instructor. This course will be implemented in NSTI / NSTI (W) / IToTs
across the nation.
