understanding and practice of the
‘mentor’. This informally developed skill of
the rural mason has a significant adverse
impact on the quality of construction.
Additionally, the BMTPC study observes
that in rural areas, the building artisans
migrate to cities in search of better income
prospects, often working with materials
and technologies that were alien to their
original context. “When they return home
they bring back with them the incomplete
knowledge of these materials; yet another
element of risk is, when they claim to be
‘masters’ of using this material.” All this
has resulted into falling of artisan skill
levels, in turn affecting the performance
levels of buildings.
Thus there is a need for a qualification
that technically strengthens and enhances
the multiple skills required of a rural
mason; this is a critical imperative to
improve the quality of buildings in rural
India as the country embarks on the
mission of ‘Housing for All by 2022’.
Industry CSDCI with the support of MoRD has
Relevance undertaken the process of obtaining
validations of the job roles and by
interacting with the State Representatives
from various states across India, which
would be involved in training of these
people. To ensure legitimacy of the
validations, CSDCI had prepared an
endorsement format, all validations have
been obtained through the same, and the
communications are recorded on mail.
These validations are enclosed
additionally and submitted along with this
