The MHRD, Government of India, has sanctioned "Community Development through Polytechnic (CDTP)" scheme to V B Polytechnic for socio-economic and technological development of villages of Udaipur district in the year 2010. The ministry feels that being a country of six lacs villages, and visible difference in rural and urban, rich and poor, highly educated and lesser educated, forward and backward areas, there is need to evolve a vast network which can help in adoption of appropriate technologies among the rural people and slum dwellers.
It is ground fact that those who live in rural areas and slums are lesser educated and hardly undergo any technical, professional and vocational training. Further, the quality skill improvement education and higher technical as well as professional education is inaccessible and unaffordable for them. In terms of career options, such people at the most tend to work in low paid unorganized sector. The productivity per person of such mass is a small fraction of productivity of those who work in organized sector. In an increasingly competitive economic environment the need is to increase the productivity of unorganized sector through non-formal system of skill development; which is accessible and meant for beneficiaries from all cross-sections of society with special emphasis on SCs/STs, OBCs, women, school dropouts, minorities, physically disabled, economically weaker sections and other under-privileged persons.
The project is monitored by Technical Teachers Training Institute, Chandigarh.
The activities of CPW are basically spread under four head:
All these projects and the courses have been assigned
to the institute by the apex technical body of India, AICTE (All India
Council for Technical Education) and ISTE (Indian Society for Technical
Education), New Delhi.
The college is running these projects successfully with the team spirit.
