The Department of School Education and Literacy is implementing the scheme  of Vocationalisation of Secondary and Higher Secondary Education. The scheme seeks to integrate vocational education with general academic education with an aim to prepare educated,  employable  and  competitive  human  resource  for  various  sectors  of  the economy and the global market.

So far, 8227 schools have been approved under the scheme in 33 States/UTs and the scheme has been implemented in 6481 schools. In the state of Telangana, the Scheme has been approved in 192 schools and implemented in 120 schools. The statewise list of number of schools where the Scheme has been approved and implemented is at Annexure .

The approvals under the Scheme depend upon the proposals received from the States/UTs  in  respect  of  the  approvals  granted  in  previous  years  and  the  funds available etc. The proposals are considered as per the norms of the scheme.
