Chandigarh, May 8 (KNN) The World Bank is funding modernisation of Industrial Training Institutes (ITIs), a crucial link for developing shop-floor skill which has remained a neglected area in most of the states.
The project is being implemented through the Directorate of Industrial Training in Haryana.
It involves grant of World Bank assistance for purchase of state of the art machining equipment like grinding machine external cylindrical fully motorized, universal grinding machine, universal cylindrical grinding machine, etc.
Industrial Training Institutes (ITIs) provide training in engineering and non-engineering technical fields, constituted under the Ministry of Labour, Government of India. They have been established to impart technical knowledge in various trades to young boys and girls who have just passed their 10th standard and want some technical knowledge instead of going on for conventional higher studies.
The main objective of opening it is to provide technical manpower to the fast emerging industrial sector. Students are trained in basic practical skills required for jobs in the industry such as that of a fitter or lathe operator.
The courses are designed in such a way that they would prove helpful to impart basic skills in the trade specified, their duration varying from a basic certificate course of one year to an industrial diploma course of three years, depending on the trade opted for.
The programmes to some extent would meet the skill gap in the country. According to reports, India would have to prepare 15 million youth per annum with skills that are required to maintain an annual growth rate of 8 per cent, a very big challenge to maintain the demand and supply.
They also suggest that India lacks sufficient skilled workers as its existing vocational training system does not target the casual or informal workforce, which constitutes over 90 per cent of India’s working population. (KNN/ES)
