Set Up a CBSE-Ready Composite Skill Lab
CBSE-ready Composite Skill Lab for Classes VI–XII with multi-sector hands-on learning, NEP 2020 & NCF-SE 2023 alignment, infrastructure, tools, safety, curriculum and year-round support.
Trusted by 500+ schools across India to build practical, skill-based innovation learning spaces.
What is a Composite Skill Lab?
A Composite Skill Lab is a multi-sector, hands-on learning space where students learn by working with technology, tools, life forms, materials, services and real-world problems.
It is called "composite" because one well-planned lab combines technology, vocational skills, entrepreneurship and problem-solving — students don't just use equipment, they build, test, improve and present solutions.
Your School Must Have a
Composite Skill Lab.
Is Yours Ready?
CBSE has officially directed all affiliated schools to establish a Composite Skill Lab that supports hands-on, skill-based learning for Classes VI–XII. This is not optional — it is a requirement for continued CBSE affiliation.
Three Forms of
Real World Learning
A Composite Skill Lab introduces students to three important types of work that shape the modern economy.
Work with Life Forms
Students work with plants, soil, water, food systems, environment and sustainability through practical activities.

Why Schools Choose Future Gurukuls?
We don't measure success by the number of kits in a lab. We measure success by the number of students who build, innovate and solve real-world problems.
Every Student Builds Something
Most labs stop at demonstrations. We ensure students create projects, prototypes and solutions throughout the year.
A Lab That Gets Used
Many school labs become inactive after installation. We help schools run activities, projects and innovation challenges year-round.
Student Innovation Portfolio
Students leave with evidence of what they have built — projects, prototypes, presentations and innovation records.
Real-World Problem Solving
Students use technology to solve problems related to agriculture, healthcare, environment, community and daily life.
From Project to Innovation
The goal is not completing activities. The goal is helping students identify problems, create solutions and think like innovators.
Designed for Teachers
Ready lesson plans, activity guides and structured implementation help teachers run the lab confidently.
Visible Outcomes for Schools
Exhibitions, student portfolios, innovation showcases and community projects create outcomes parents can actually see.
Built for Every School
Whether urban, rural, government or private, the model adapts to the school's reality instead of forcing a fixed setup.
