Kushal is a partnership project between CREDAIPune Metro and NSDC (National Skill Development Corporation), Ministry of Finance, Govt. of India to help upgrade skills of construction workers in 6 trades of importance, which are shuttering, barbending, plumbing, tiling, masonry, and painting. The project target is to train 20, 000 workers in next 3 to 4 years. A member association of CREDAI India, CREADI Pune Metro (formerly known as Promoters & Builders Association of Pune, PBAP) is an association of more than 350 Pune based developers. The association has been functioning since 1982 for the benefit of its members and to promote the real estate industry in Pune city. Kushal is the changing face of training and skill building scenario of construction workers in India as it addresses the issue of shortage of skilled workforce in the industry and resultant effects such as sub-standard work quality, material wastage, higher construction costs, delays, and unhappy customers through its unique on-the-job-on-the-site training model where a worker learns while he earns. Moreover, the impact of learning through this model is much higher as it is through learning by doing method. Initiated in April 2011, the project is a classic example of how the dream of few visionary people having unflinching social commitment and well rooted approach to the core needs of the industry can come true with self-belief and perseverance in efforts.
