Kaushal Bodh, delivered the way NCERT intended.
My STEM Lab helps schools implement Kaushal Bodh (Vocational Education, Grades 6–8) end to end — real projects, real tools, real community experts, and hands-on maker learning.
Three Forms of Work
The mandate is clear. Running it well is the hard part.
CBSE now requires Kaushal Bodh in Classes VI–VIII. The framework is deliberately hands-on — it needs tools, field visits, community experts and process-based assessment. That's a lot to stand up alone.
Projects, not periods
Each project runs ~30 hours with real materials and outcomes. Teachers need lesson-by-lesson structure, kits and safety guidance — not just a textbook.
Experts & field visits
The framework builds in visits to nurseries, workshops and markets, plus master instructors — farmers, artisans, mechanics. Coordinating that takes time.
Assessment that's 80% practical
Viva, activity book, portfolio and observation of work-values — not a written paper. Teachers need clear rubrics and record formats to assess it fairly.
Hands-on, curriculum-integrated, child-friendly.
The same experiential learning approach My STEM Lab is known for — now mapped precisely to the Kaushal Bodh framework.
Future-Ready Skills
Through problem-based projects, students meet real challenges and build critical thinking, collaboration and creativity.
Framework-Integrated
Every activity maps to NCERT's Curricular Goals and Learning Outcomes — practical understanding of each Form of Work.
Child-Friendly Kits
Interactive, age-appropriate project kits that engage curiosity and make Grades 6–8 learning genuinely enjoyable.
All three Forms of Work — with the exact NCERT projects.
Schools choose one project per Form of Work each year from the Kaushal Bodh Activity Books, or design their own to local context. We support both.
