National Occupational Standard (NOS) describes what individuals need to do, know and understand to carry out a job role or function.
A set of such standards, aligned to a job role, is called Qualification Pack (QP). Agriculture Skill Council of India is the nodal organization who is entrusted with the responsibility of developing NOSs and QPs related to the Veterinary and Animal Husbandry sector in India. The developed standards are based on the needs of the nation and industry.
The key stages in the development of NOS are shown in the following figure.
