brief Description of the scheme
-
Union Finance Minister, in the budget speech of 2004-05
had stressed that skills imparted by ITIs must keep pace
with the technological demands of the Industry to produce
World class workforce and also exhorted Industry
Associations / Industry to join hands with the Govt. and
create a Public Private Partnership model (PPP) for
designing and implementing the scheme.
-
Subsequently for upgradation of 500 ITIs in the
country, DGE&T, Govt. of India, Ministry of Labour &
Employment initiated for upgradation of 100 ITIs from
domestic resources and 400 ITIs through World Bank
Assistance. During the financial year 2005-06, 100 ITIs
were upgraded into Centre of Excellence with central
assistance financed in the ratio of 75:25 by Govt. of
India and the State Govt.
-
The
highlights of the Centres of Excellence Schemes:
Ø
Introduction of multiskilling courses (BBBT- Broad
Based Basic Training ) of one year duration for
acquisition of generic skills applicable to number of
occupations within a given field;
Ø
Followed by
Advanced/specialized modular courses for
specialized training for initial employment including self
employment by adopting industry wise cluster approach,
multi entry and multi exit provisions;
Ø
and
Public-Private-Partnership in the form of Institue
Managament Committees (IMCs) to ensure greater &
active involvement of industry in all aspects of training.
Trainees of 2nd year would have option to select
any employable advanced modules of their choice.
-
What way
joint venture will or is expected to be result oriented:
Ø
Experience
world wide has shown that Institution based training
administered by Govt. have not been very effective in
meeting the Labour Market requirements. The costs are very
high and external efficiency is rather low. So greater role
of users i.e. Industry is being encouraged and therefore
Industry has been involved in Centres of Excellence scheme
through IMCs (Public Private Partnership model). Provisions
have been made to make the Institution based training
accountable to users. Further, it is sought to be
implemented with on-job-training in the Industry.
Ø
In India,
where dominance of the Govt. in the planning and
implementation of Vocational Training Programs is
overwhelming, a shift of responsibility in terms of
financing and management of Vocational Training from Govt.
to employers has been envisaged. So far inputs from Industry
into ITIs were merely of advisory nature, which were not
very effective. Advisory inputs need to be replaced with
managerial inputs. The autonomy of training
authority, decentralization and accountability to users
(i.e. Industry) is essential. To have effective
decentralization, autonomy and to make training accountable
to users, IMCs and Societies have been constituted.
Ø
Roles & Responsibilities of IMCs
The IMC will have the following roles and responsibilities:
(a)
Generation
of revenue through various means such as projects and
financial contribution from industry including donation of
equipment and using of such funds/ equipment as decided by
them;
(b)
Forecasting
of new emerging training areas;
(c)
Development
of curriculum;
(d)
Selection
of trainees;
(e)
Training of
faculty;
(f)

(g)

(h)
