Tiruchirappalli, Sept 18 (KNN) As a follow up of UKIERI (UK-India Education Research Initiative) project on management capacity development of SMEs which the National Institute of Technology (NIT) has been implementing since 2012, an SME Centre will be set up here.
The SME Centre will support the small and medium enterprises in the region, an official release said.
As part of the UKIERI project, NIT is organising a one-day conference on ‘SME Development: Managing Challenges ‘on September-20. While a team of Brunel University faculty led by Prof. Ashley Braganza will speak at the conference, officials of UKIERI will also be present.
The conference would focus on the disseminating sustainable value to SMEs out of the 30-month long UKIERI project. It will also be used as an opportunity to explore the opportunities for NIT Trichy’s role in development of SMEs in the state of Tamil Nadu.
SMEs in the region have been invited to participate in the conference and express their expectations so that NIT Trichy can play its role effectively.
Speakers of the conference include office bearers of SME associations such as TANSTIA, TIDITSSIA, BHELSIA, CODISSIA, CII, AIEMA, and others.
The lead institutions of the UKIERI project are NIT-Trichy and Brunel University, UK. Other Indian partners of the project include BHEL-Trichy, BHELSIA and IIM, Trichy. Uxbridge College, UK, a further education institution is the other UK partner.
A team of Indian and UK Faculty were involved in designing and delivering the curriculum, including preparation of training material. The project outcomes, in the form of training capability and training material, will continue to be useful to Indian SMEs, especially those in manufacturing sectors, long after the project is completed.
The comprehensive training material is developed collaboratively by Indian and UK faculty teams.
More than 100 SMEs in Trichy, Chennai and Coimbatore have been trained based on the material. Four SMEs were chosen as SME Faculty for further training programmes and they were taken to UK for a first-hand experience of SME in the UK. (KNN/ES)
