Operational Highlights

 

Domestic Operations:

 

ICT@CORE

 

A major milestone in the history of the Company was recorded by bagging one of the largest education projects valued approximately Rs.2950.000 million from the State of Haryana for implementing ICT (Information and Communication Technology) covering 2,622 schools which will benefit 5 million students across 21 districts in that State. This project is expected to augment the focus of the Government to improve the quality of education in schools by ushering in enhanced use of technology. The project envisages use of computers and bio-metric devices to enhance delivery of quality education in the schools and to monitor student and teacher performances. They will also develop software to support monitoring and evaluation of teachers and students for the State’s Education Department including asset and maintenance management system and help desk facility at the State level. Their Company has also bagged a contract from the Govt. of Maharashtra under the ICT@Schools Phase 2 program covering 947 schools across the three districts of Mumbai, Pune and Kolhapur. The contract, which will extend over a period of 5 years from the date of its commencement, is valued at Rs.1,200 million. They also successfully commissioned the ICT project with the State of Nagaland. Another project with the Government of Gujarat was signed for implementing Computer Aided Learning (CAL) for 645 Schools valued at about Rs.264 million covering 645 schools across south Gujarat for a period of 5 years. This project involves setting up Computer Aided Learning in Secondary and Higher Secondary schools and supply of hardware, software, manpower services including Teachers’ Training and maintenance of systems.

 

They also signed a contract for providing Child Tracking System (CTS) with the Assam State Government under the Axom Sarba Siksha Abhijan Mission. The project includes providing bi-lingual CTS application and supply of ICR survey forms, household survey training, converting the data digitally and providing support and maintenance for 1 year. Similarly, they have entered into a contract with the Government of Tripura to provide a Learning Management System (LMS) and for developing 100 hours of content in English and Bengali.

 

CORE K12 Schools

 

They are initiating many activities under this domain with many small projects being implemented with quality products and solutions. This is a major step for the Company to create its niche in the domestic market, by leveraging its overseas experience and expertise. They have undertaken a pilot project for implementing school ERP and maintenance for Navodaya Vidhyalaya Samiti, under the Ministry of HRD, Department of Education.

 

They are commissioning a pilot project for Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan for implementing Quality Improvement Programs and School ERP products, implementing Assessment Centre and providing e-learning contents for 25 Kendriya Vidyalayas. Similar products and services are also provided to Navodaya Vidyalaya Samiti, under the Ministry of HRD covering 64 schools.

 

They plan to establish a chain of CORE K12 schools in next few years. These schools will be established in accordance with existing regulations and affi liated to various streams like IB, ICSE, CBSE, etc. These schools would aim to provide quality education clubbed with special focus on sports, arts and other activities, which would not only enable the students for preparing themselves for better prospects’ in their career but also to explore the students’ hidden talent.

 

CORE Higher Education

 

They were awarded a contract by the National Project Implementation Unit (NPIU), under the ministry of HRD for providing MIS for monitoring technical education quality improvement program for 200 Engineering Colleges, setting up data center for hosting MIS, provide MIS training for 1,200 users and maintenance for 5 years.

 

Similar to the schools, they also plan to establish private universities for Management Studies, Engineering and Technical. With the passing of Private Universities Bill by some States, they believe, this would be another big opportunity for CORE to help the students to imbibe quality higher education.

 

CORE Skill Development:

 

Vocational Training:

 

Vocational Training is another area gaining thrust worldwide with several ministries coming out with various schemes in vocational training for unemployment remediation and meeting the industry’s needs for skilled man-power. This is another important area of focus for CORE as they move forward.

 

Under the vocational training initiatives, the Company received a mandate to assist the Delhi Police to equip its personnel with latest IT Skills for approximately 2000 policemen with the basics of IT. This initiative will be a part of Crime and Criminal Tracking Network and System (CCTNS) program which Delhi Police has undertaken to curb crime in the city. The CCTNS is a comprehensive system designed to facilitate collection, storage, retrieval, analysis, transfer and sharing of data and information between police stations and the State and Central Police Organisation.

 

The Company also signed MOU with Gujarat Knowledge Society to impart job-oriented skill upgradation courses to students from various disciplines in colleges across Ahmedabad and Surat districts. This is a significant step towards educating and enhancing the employment potential of youth in Gujarat. The courses will be offered across 18 verticals covering 400 colleges to cater to a student population of about 100,000. They also received approval from the Ministry of Higher and Technical Education, Maharashtra, for establishing Industrial Training Center (ITC) in Navi Mumbai. This initiative will focus towards skill capacity building and plans to address the challenges of skilled manpower in the country by producing trained workforce through a delivery mechanism for industry relevant training programs. The courses to be provided will follow the National Council for Vocational Training (NCVT) in accordance with the guidelines issued by the respective Governments.

 

Teachers’ Training, Capacity Building:

 

The Company has already signed a MOU with the University of Oxford for enabling Teachers Capacity Building and for Training Teachers in India. This path breaking collaboration with the University of Oxford is very critical and crucial for the success of the Sarva Shiksha Abhiyaan (SSA), the Rashtriya Madhyamik Shiksha Abhiyaan (RMSA) and the Model Schools Programs, the main initiatives for improving education in the country, by the Government of India. This enables the Company to have a first mover advantage to tap a significant market share which is stated to be USD one billion. This collaboration with Oxford University is the first ever private sector initiative in the field of teacher enablement in India. The Company has already commenced leveraging this association in the domestic market and will see more developments in this regard in the immediate future.

 

Management Discussion and Analysis

 

 

Outlook

 

The education system worldwide is dominated by core sectors of higher education and the K12 schools, which account for nearly 80% of the total consumer spends in the market.

 

The Indian higher education sector is expected to grow at an 18% CAGR till 2020, considering the Government initiatives through the ‘PPP’ model, and the industry’s boom in the years to come it seems to be a natural consequence – double incomes in nuclear families, high spending propensity and population growth will all be active contributors to the economy
