committee meeting on 1

1.0 Chairman’s Opening Remarks

a) CoEWT should work beyond the commitments made to DHI.

b) CoEWT should work towards preparation of a BLUEPRINT on skill development Plans and

programs that would focus on unique skills that are not offered by other institutions as PSG

CoEWT has a synergy of education and industry skill sets.

c) The skill development should cover all levels of people and should act as human resource in

special areas of welding such as robotic welding, simulation, and other innovative techniques.

d) CoEWT should think of publishing books in the field of welding.

e) CoEWT should prepare a

so that our country can enhance productivity and employment to maintain competitiveness in

various sectors of industry. This can be done through conduct of a workshop or seminar etc.

Chairman suggested that Prof. B.Vinod should lead this activity.

f) Chairman suggested that CoEWT should work towards collaborating with some leading

foreign universities in the field of welding automation and power source development.

b) The blue print should cater to future skill development requirements including advanced

training areas.

c) The skill development should cover right from ground level personnel to expert levels.

d) Shri. Ramkumar said that NDT certification by CoEWT is important as many small players

tend to follow unethical practices to issue certificates without proper training.

e) CoEWT can avail the services of retired experts to offer such programs.

f) The skill development programs should cover case studies in various areas of welding like

cost cutting, productivity improvement, welding issues etc. we can get invited speakers on

these topics. Shri. Ramkumar said that ISRO can also contribute towards providing case

studies for the programs.

g) Dr.Shaju Albert said that besides NSDC, CoEWT can contact skill development and

entrepreneurship ministry for development of such programs and these programs can focus

on various industry sectors that are affiliated to the new ministry. He

are categorized under different levels from 1 to 10 right from artisan to engineer levels.
