In December 2011, Tata Institute of Social Sciences set up the School of Vocational Education (SVE) to provide immediate and definite interventions to improve the lives of the disadvantaged and marginalized youth, especially who are excluded by the formal school education system, through appropriate vocational training programmes. The training program would be inclusive in nature and structured in a way to facilitate vertical movement of the organized and unorganized labour and facilitate the participation of women, children, the PWD and other vulnerable groups. Pratistha Educational Society is the study hub of TISS- SVE for Raipur city.
