    PREFACE

                The National Instructional Media Institute (NIMI) was established in 1986 at Chennai by then Directorate
                General of Employment and Training (D.G.E & T), Ministry of Labour and Employment, (now under
                Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship) Government of India, with technical assistance
                from the Govt. of the Federal Republic of Germany. The prime objective of this institute is to develop and
                provide instructional materials for various trades as per the prescribed syllabi (NSQF LEVEL - 4) under
                the Craftsman and Apprenticeship Training Schemes.

                The instructional materials are created keeping in mind, the main objective of Vocational Training
                under NCVET/NAC in India, which is to help an individual to master skills to do a job. The instructional
                materials are generated in the form of Instructional Media Packages (IMPs). An IMP consists of Theory
                book, Practical book, Test and Assignment book, Instructor Guide, Audio Visual Aid (Wall charts and
                Transparencies) and other support materials.
                The trade practical book consists of series of exercises to be completed by the trainees in the workshop.
                These exercises are designed to ensure that all the skills in the prescribed syllabus are covered. The trade
                theory book provides related theoretical knowledge required to enable the trainee to do a job. The test
                and assignments will enable the instructor to give assignments for the evaluation of the performance of a
                trainee. The wall charts and transparencies are unique, as they not only help the instructor to effectively
                present a topic but also help him to assess the trainee’s understanding. The instructor guide enables
                the instructor to plan his schedule of instruction, plan the raw material requirements, day to day lessons
                and demonstrations.

                In order to perform the skills in a productive manner instructional videos are embedded in QR code of
                the exercise in this instructional material so as to integrate the skill learning with the procedural practical
                steps given in the exercise. The instructional videos will improve the quality of standard on practical
                training and will motivate the trainees to focus and perform the skill seamlessly.

                IMPs also deals with the complex skills required to be developed for effective team work. Necessary
                care has also been taken to include important skill areas of allied trades as prescribed in the syllabus.

                The availability of a complete Instructional Media Package in an institute helps both the trainer and
                management to impart effective training.

                The IMPs are the outcome of collective efforts of the staff members of NIMI and the members of the Media
