Centre for Research in Schemes & Policies (CRISP)’s Post

Centre for Research in Schemes & Policies (CRISP) and Living Landscapes have come together to collaborate on the GIST (Grassroots level Institutions Strengthening and Transformation), an initiative by CRISP. This collaboration aims to drive ecologically sustainable and inclusive rural development by empowering grassroots institutions and promoting decentralized, community-led governance. GIST will focus on building the capacities of Grama Panchayats and Self-Help Groups (SHGs), which will be implemented in Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Jharkhand, and Odisha. Together, we aim to converge efforts with State Governments and SRLMs to develop Gram Panchayat Development Plans that foster clean, green, and poverty-free villages. This partnership marks a significant step towards strengthening local governance and creating sustainable rural communities.

The Centre for Research in Schemes and Policies (CRISP) has established a Centre of Excellence (CoE) to implement the National Initiative for Skill Integrated Higher Education (NISHE) project. This initiative aims to improve the employability prospects of students in Conventional Degree Colleges by bridging the skill gap and equipping them with hands-on experience through the Apprenticeship Embedded Degree Programs (AEDPs). Inspired by successful pilots in Telangana and Uttar Pradesh, NISHE integrates skill training and apprenticeships into general education, aligning it with industry needs to address India's graduate unemployability crisis. Over the next three years, NISHE aims to impact 1,00,000 students across 10 states and 11 sectors, creating job-ready graduates and leveraging India's demographic dividend for economic growth. Currently, NISHE is implemented in around 300 colleges across Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Telangana, and Uttar Pradesh. CRISP is looking for highly motivated professionals with experience in the Skill Development and Higher Education sector who are passionate to work in social sector and can contribute positively in bridging the skill-gap of India.
