APEX COMMITTEE

10. Skill development training for Youth of Bihar is an approach to equip them with the basic skills for making
them employable and bring the rural masses into the mainstream. Competency in such skill sets might help
in immediate employment, entrepreneurial development, data handling on a day-to-day basis in an office
environment for handling all sorts of computer programs and software’s which are in demand, also the
growing number of mobile users in India with low cost smart phones flooding the market a need to repair
these handsets is also becoming a necessity. We however have cleverly devised only few courses which are
market driven and need based hence our success rate towards employability is not been a challenge so far
one of them being Computer Hardware and Networking course.
The guidelines of effective implementation of such a selective ICT based curriculum in Bihar context
clearly states that the use of Information Communication Technology in instruction will help develop the
learning community in all sectors to be empowered in a rapid changing world. Neither can we negate the
power of web today nor can we foresee negating technology tools where data can be available at finger
tips on any device at any time anywhere is already a reality, hence internet operations are a compulsory
part of all trainings. This directive of Skill Development of the government both central and state and their
agencies together with us is to empower the target audience across Bihar to use learning equipment’s
and study materials which includes computer programs that are of immense educational value are
interactive and experimental in nature for enablement of the users along with mobile technology
courseware.
The Skill Development Trainings for we are known for since 2011 includes various courses in computer,
mobile repairing, desktop and laptop repairing, hardware and network related courses, programming and
web based courses is to provide skills integrating computer manipulations in learning and teaching. Our
objective always has been more hands on and with a bigger lab sharing 40% is limited to theory and almost
60% of the time 2:1 computers are provided actually sharing learning is promoted as it promotes better
learning. We also have started offering specialized high end Computer Courses for Engineering Graduates
which is job oriented and industry approved with a very high employment ratio.

SKILL DEVELOPMENT & US

11. IN TECHNOLOGY: We have technology tie ups with leading non-conventional power generation
companies to cater to all kinds of Solar, Windmill and Hybrid Power generation system for Bihar.
A demo unit is installed at our Center of Excellence (CoE) for real-time experience of the
technology and transformation based on SCADA system wherein the power generation can also
be measured. We have been awarded the “Greenest Lab” on earth in January 2012 by a USA
based organisation for running 40 Nodes in our campus with 1.5KW of Solar cum Wind energy.
We intend to commence similar CoE in all districts of Bihar to replicate similar infrastructure
saving huge resources of the state and the country.
The shared computing with a small footprint is surely going to be the future of India because we
utilize less than 5% of a CPU, for its low Power consumption, lower cost of acquisition, no
maintenance and extra savings on the OS and Software. We also are associated with an
organisation who have come up with an affordable Android PC which can be attached to any
display (LED/LCD/CRT/Monitor) bundled with keyboard and mouse, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi
enabled device, clubbed with content, games, OS and office suite and applications which we are
using to educate trainees in rural areas where PC is still a High Class item.
IN ENVIRONMENT: Innovation at Astric is always taking care of the environment - Clean, Green
and Serene. We have been able to reach the finals of the FICCI-UNIDO National Innovation
Competition for the year 2015 for Innovation of mobile solar module which does not break and
can be folded too where in spite of being in education domain we reached the finals competing
among 117 participants to the top 10. We have also been successful to see that the state
government replicates our success story in all the projects and it is saving about Rs.1Cr each
year on electricity bills alone in the ICT@School project.

OUR RESOURCES

13. The e-governance and m-governance initiatives taken by the government (state or central) in
recent years have posed a tremendous challenge to create the pool of skilled manpower
resources at various levels. The need of the hour is to create ICT enabled government eco-
systems and a bank of talented and employment ready work force. Our pool of experts have
some specialist who have been assisting the government mechanism towards propelling through
best consultancy services as and when required even doing some free services in creating
policies as and when required for the state government.
Since 2011 when we began our journey we have completed various training and capacity
building programs as stated above and we have learnt lot of meaningful lessons, we even trained
ex servicemen through Sainik Welfare Directorate where many dependents of the ex-servicemen
also participated. In sessions we conducted we have gathered enough knowledge to create a
pool of our own learning to educate others of how best we can utilize it for betterment of
Government Staff Training in masses in the coming years.
We are now prepared to undertake the journey as the road ahead has lesser road blocks and we
are prepared to tackle the issues as our past experiences will guide us forward. We expect to
proceed with few more association towards adding more domains in skill development. We
foresee that with the “Skill India” mission launched by the Prime Minister of India and the newly
formed Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship the speed of skill enhancement has
to pick up to such an extent that we prepare for better equipped trainees who build a better
nation together. In todays context we are good but in tomorrows context we are best bet with
technology and collaboration taking steps together towards a transformed India. We are
prepared towards driving Bihar and India ahead with best foot forward with Astric Solutions.
Since 2011 when we began our journey we have completed various training and capacity building
programs for the state and central government.
2011:- We trained 630 Trainees
2012:- We trained 1183 Trainees
2013:- We trained 441 Trainees

MILSTONES 2011 TO 2015
ROADMAP AHEAD

14. At Astric Solutions all students who enter our campus know for sure that here they will be learning
the classroom sessions whole heartedly and the teaching community will give their best for e-
enabling them with the tools, tips and tricks to master the software or hardware aspects to the best
of their abilities using a blended learning approach which is a combination of Computer based
Learning and Instructor Based Learning. Certification is the last thing on their mind perhaps that is the
reason we have seen a learner come back to us each year to learn a new technology or a new skill.
Students are the main stakeholders for any educational or career building institution like ours and at
Astric Solutions we care for each one of them through out the year, year after year.
Knowing well that their word of mouth will give us opportunity to cater to similar students. We use
and adapt some of the best learning materials for the students in collaboration with a leading
publication house in IT “BPB Publication”. Since our target is always professional courses, such as
Hardware, Networking, Web Application Development Tools, Open Source and proprietary
programming languages, Support Services based trainings, that would value all other type of courses
as no-no. We encourage students to experiment with ways to mix and merge the two learning
methodologies so that they can showcase a broader repertoire of skills.
Students in both regular and special certificate or diploma programs learn more about their
respective fields and set up their skills in a faster pace in whichever mode they are comfortable. For
this reason we take the core course as early in the program as possible along with soft skill building
which has been a real pain for students of Bihar apart from IT skills their language skills, body
language skills, speaking skills, listening skills and last but not the least dressing skills are embedded
here at Astric Solutions. Writing in Digital Environments, Writing for Social Change, and Writing about
Health & Medicine apart from Resume Writing skillsare taught to all painfully.
Even if a student has already taken a course before the core purpose of joining sometimes is to adapt
to the ways we teach subjects to sustain in the industry. Keep in mind that the texts or course
materials and projects we feature in our courseware portfolio can come from the tech gurus who
have spent years in the academy or the industry writing or writing-intensive courses for any program
and can also include workplace and community-based writing whether or not these are connected to
specific courses for the over learning and creating an ambient atmosphere of better learning.
We encourage students to take advantage of the open sessions and workshops for group discussions
and presentations during the programs each term, and also seek feedback (personally, anonymously)
to help us learn from students about how we can better learning environment at Astric Solutions. We
recommend that all students put more stress on “hands on” mode of learning for which we keep the
labs open on weekends too. We have a career guide, a motivator and a English language trainer for all
batches as it has been observed that the people from Bihar are weak in framing sentences which re
grammatically incorrect hence consume more time than average people from other parts of country.
We also seek intervention of a yoga and meditation trainer from time to time for teaching the
method of relaxation of the body and the mind under the supervision of the Yoga guru which helps
our trainees to de-stress themselves from the tensions at work place and home at times.

LEARNING COMMUNITY

15. TRAINING: Studies have shown that the use of computers and educational software’s in teaching has a
significant impact in pupil’s learning outcomes, these pupils were highly motivated and focused in any
lesson which involves manipulation of computers and each participant acts as facilitator of learning
rather than talking all throughout the lesson. The community of learners in this case are pupils in the age
group of 18 to 40 years hence the acceptability has to be understood to help them gain knowledge and
skills of the highest levels for which tools have been devised and established over a period of time by our
experiments on content its relevance and also interest through our advisors from the Apex Committee
and tech gurus. We always look at it as an Industry Academia interface for bridging the gap in skill
development domain. Bihar is not aligned properly towards the global requirements though we started
early in respect to others and hence have the largest learning curve in understanding the market and
behavior of the market which requires certain skills and not all. Our training has gained respect in the ICT
domain due to our sincere efforts.
ASSESSMENT: It has always been observed by the training and capacity building domain professional that
post training assessment is a very important factor yet is mostly overlooked by many a firms. We at Astric
Solutions have valued partners who help us with third party tools to do a proper assessment test and
certify the trained students with proper benchmarking which is given high value in the industry. Unless
assessment is done in a proper way the industry rejects the trained students either in an interview or in
practical field examination.
MONITORING: We have been involved in multiple skill development initiatives both at state and central
levels and could not find a monitoring mechanism to justify the training and assessment as none of the
existing tools were ‘concurrent’ in nature or practice. We took the initiative ourselves and devised a MIS
tool using Free Open Source Tools and created a SMART tool which caters to all the stakeholders of the
Training Institutions involved in government funded schemes or likewise. From the time a prospective
trainee walks in to the campus, to counselling-admission-course conducting-examination-certification-
alumni and e-learning during his/her course from the leisure of home through a dedicated ID and
Password for each student. For trainer an ID and Password to upload all presentations, notes on a daily
basis, for the Administrator to send SMS on specific occasions like Birthday, Holiday, Examination
announcement etc.

TRAINING – ASSESSMENT -
MONITORING

16. SCHOOL COMPUTER ACCESS NETWORK (SCAN):
An innovative cloud based application with SMS integration for asset management for computers or
tablets or laptops spread across long distances making it difficult to monitor on a daily basis. SCAN was
initiated for ICT@School project of Education Department of Government of Bihar society “Bihar State
Educational Infrastructure Development Corporation Ltd. “ in the year 2011 as per the directions of
Managing Director a system which would help the society receive an SMS if the ICT lab at school was
run on a given day. The objective was to monitor usage of ICT Lab at remote locations under
ICT@School Project. It is till date the only solution which costs about Rs.2/- per School per day to own
and the most robust.
The Pilot began on 16th June 2012 and was dedicated to the state by Hon’ble Chief Minister of Bihar on
16th July 2013 and one word of praise from him was “LAJAWAB” the beneficiary of the Project being
School Students across 832 schools of Bihar.
PARTICIPATIVE ONLINE EXAMINATION MANAGEMENT SOLUTION (POEMS):
POEMS is a solution catering to Government Departments and Institutions for end-to-end examination
management for recruitment of teaching or non-teaching staff through open requisition in newspapers
and monitoring of the entire process as a project including recruitment process as per set guidelines of
Government of India, submission of application forms, acceptance of the application and demand
drafts, scrutiny of the applications, release of admit cards, conducting of examination (offline & online),
management of examinations, assessment of examination (OMR/OCR/Copy Corrections), uploading of
results within the given time frame and publishing on website of client, SMS integration for
transparency at all levels with each stakeholder.
