SOLUTION PROPOSED

Training & Skill Development Plan

Categorize and prioritize the recommendations on basis of Impact & Feasibility

Process for Implementation

Design, develop and Include the process for Implementation

Implementation

By increasing the choices of course study & enabling greater freedom &

flexibility

Real time Training in Hard Skills(Technical) in several well established factories.

Inclusion of several

Liberal arts, science &

humanities subjects for techies to develop

freethinking & creativity

Engi

nee

r Creative

Scientific

Economic/Socially Responsible

Inclusion of Liberal Arts and Science Courses to enable Engineers to think beyond any boundaries

Courses like Calligraphy, Drawing, Painting, History, Literature etc., enable a man to relax himself, feel stress free and build up his knowledge on a wider spectrum thereby leading to the CREATION OF LEADERS rather than followers

Application of the basic and applied Scientific principles in each and every aspect of his career and life will surely lead to a better tomorrow.

Implementing all his technical and scientific knowledge onto every job or task enables that he/she remains a scientific and educated person.

Being active in services to the poor and needy through several campaigns, clubs, associations etc., enables an engineer to be a true human being.

It makes him/her think for a greater cause than for themselves which benefits them and the nation in the long run

I can continue growing only if I help others grow

CASE STUDY (Tamil Nadu)

The Central & the State government should make it mandatory for every SMALL/MEDIUM/LARGE SCALE INDUSTRIES both public and private to train a proportionate amount of the under graduate Engineering Students based on the type and size of their industrial facility.

This can be encouraged by giving certain tax cuts based on the number of students they train and based on the feedback from the students on the training received.

Around 4,00,000 – 5,00,000 students can be trained per year by this initiative.

Students of all Four years of Engineering can be trained through this model.

REFORMISTS FEDERATION

Formation of a single Federation for all the Branches of Engineering and enabling sharing of information and other Technological innovations with several other students from all backgrounds (academic / economic/ social).

Every college should make sure that every student joins the Federation and contributes to the successful knowledge sharing and skill development of one and all.

Number of Under graduate Engineering students passing out in Tamil Nadu

1,85,000

Number of Factories in Tamil Nadu (All SSI/MSI/LSI)

3,87,597

No of students trained by the proposed theory In the coming academic years.

All 1,85,000

In each class only the top 10% of the students are Trained in companies, whereas the rest 90% students are unable to get the necessary Industrial Training .

The proposed model will enable every student to get the necessary industrial training from any industry through proper channel.

Increase in skills will lead to specialization in several other disciplines too.

In millions

FINANCING • Contribution of every student under a mutually beneficial and reasonable scale of Rs.1000

per student per year. • Increased and Strategically deployed central and state funding( 5% increase from the

present allocation ) • Funding streams connected to outcomes( Greater Research and research aides,

apprentice, better industry-academics relationship )

GOVERNANCE An Autonomous organization directly under the control of the Planning Commission integrated to every Institute of High Learning in India.

EXCELLENCE SPECIALIZATION EXPANSION

Free Learning Centric Approach

Faculty development Programs

Globalization & Creation of Alliances and Networks

Institutional Differentiation Widespread use of latest

available technologies Reducing the knowledge

gap between the rural and urban students

Easy model adaptable for every Indian State.

Narrowing the spectrum of study while widening the opportunities to learn & work

Nurturing several artistic & leadership skills through long term access to the industries.

OUTCOMES Improved teaching, research & skill

development across all disciplines and different group of students.
