Objective: It is, therefore, crucial for banks, financial institutions (FIs), and NBFCs to ensure that their Boards possess a strong understanding of applicable regulatory and governance standards.

Abstract: The literature on the “New” human capital highlights the critical role of higher order cognitive skills, personal skills -curiosity, being entrepreneurial, aspirational as well socio-emotional skills. While recent literature suggests they can be taught, how to impart these skills in low capacity settings is a challenge. We present results from three large Randomized Control Trial experiments based on different pedagogy interventions in public schools of three states of India (Uttarakhand, Uttar Pradesh and Andhra Pradesh). The interventions target various broad aspects of human capital. In Uttar Pradesh, science experiments are introduced to students in middle school to make them curious; in Uttarakhand, a pedagogy based on Theatre targets building socio-emotional and soft skills of middle school students; in Andhra Pradesh an entrepreneurial mindset development program is delivered in school to make secondary school students think out-of-the-box. The overall results from these interventions are mixed- the successes and failures inform the literature on the technological possibilities of pedagogy and the constraints that such methods face. We also highlight the role of local labour markets and their interaction with accumulation of human capital.
