Goa State Research Foundation
Notification
Scheme on “Traditional Occupations and Skills: Documentation and Research for
Improving Local Livelihoods” (TOS-DRILL)
Introduction to the Scheme
Traditional skills and occupations play a significant role in local cultures and economies. Recognizing the
same, the “Traditional Occupations and Skills: Documentation and Research for Improving Local
Livelihoods” (TOS-DRILL) scheme aims to document these practices thereby helping not just preserve, but to
revitalise the same. This aligns with the local and national level efforts to support sustainable livelihoods, by
combining research, documentation, and practical interventions. Through focused study and collaboration with
local communities, the scheme will facilitate enhancement of income opportunities, improvement of skills and
promotion of sustainable use of local resources.
The TOS-DRILL scheme offers financial support to regular teachers/faculty members, institutions, and
experts who will collaboratively find ways to preserve and improve traditional skills, while addressing
economic challenges of present times. The scheme emphasizes practical research and documentation that will
assist in framing policy recommendations, and help ensure that the rich traditional occupations/skills continue
to contribute to the resilience of local livelihoods.
Objectives and Scope
The TOS-DRILL scheme aims to support interdisciplinary teams of teachers, researchers, and experts,
including those with practical experience from the informal or traditional sectors, to explore and document
(creation of database/compendium) traditional occupations/skills. Besides documentation, the scheme, through
sustainable actions, will help generate actionable ways and innovative strategies to revive local economies and
enhance livelihoods based on the rich heritage of local knowledge and practices. In addition to occupations
and skills, the scheme may also be extended to document (and revive) traditional cultural aspects, including
dance/performing arts, language, food/cuisine etc. whose usage and prevalence are gradually seen to be
decreasing. Revival of activities (traditional economies/occupations/skills), thereby preventing their extinction,
sustainability, replication of traditional best practices etc. would be the outcome of the scheme.
Collaborative efforts that engage with local communities, artisans, industry partners, and relevant
government departments will be prioritized. The scheme focusing on opportunities within traditional
occupations/skills will cover three broad types of studies/proposals: (i) invitation based thematic
studies/projects involving specific institutions having necessary expertise and/or geographical advantage; (ii)
thematic based open call for proposals announced on the GSRF website; and (iii) open invitation via the GSRF
website on any apt proposal (non-thematic). Researchers under TOS-DRILL will thus have the flexibility to
address thematic and open-ended issues, which will help directly/indirectly bridge tradition with modern
livelihood enhancement strategies.
The Goa State Research Foundation (GSRF) will be responsible for implementing and operating the
TOS-DRILL scheme.

Tenure and Implementation
The tenure for projects under TOS-DRILL scheme will be 10 months from the date of issue of the

and practitioners from the informal sector (examples being artisans, mechanics and farmers with practical
experience in traditional occupations) who can contribute valuable insights and skills.

with the original documents must be sent to the GSRF Office within a week.
Procedure for Approval
Applicants will be screened and required to present their concept to a committee constituted for
evaluating submissions. Successful applicants will be asked to submit a detailed proposal (with recommended
modifications). Based on the Committee's recommendations, the Governing Council of GSRF will take the
