| BACKGROUND
NOTE ON THE UPGRADATION OF 500 ITIs AS “CENTRE OF EXCELLENCE” |
Keeping
in view the importance of Vocational Training, Union Finance
Minister, in the Budget speech 2004-05 has stressed that
skills imparted by ITIs must keep pace with the technological
demands of the Industry and the expanding universe of knowledge
to produce world class workforce. He also welcomed Chamber
of Commerce and Industry to join hands with the Government
and create a public-private partnership model for designing
and implementing the scheme. In this connection, Govt. of
India proposes to launch a programme in the central sector
to upgrade 500 ITIs over the next five years at the rate
of 100 ITIs a year. |
Accordingly,
DGE & T, MoL has proposed to take up a scheme to upgrade
the 500 existing ITIs in to “Centres of Excellence”.
The main thrust of the programme will be to provide appropriate
infrastructure, equipment, update syllabi and introduce
new trades. These Centre of Excellence will cater to the
skill requirements of the cluster of Industries in the particular
areas by organizing multi-skilling courses on modular pattern. |
| What is a
“Centre of Excellence” |
According
to the website related to ‘Centres of Vocational Excellence’,
UK ( http://cove.ise.gov.uk/index.cfm),
a ‘Centre of Excellence’ is special institute
for vocational training characterized by close links between
Institutes, other training providers, industry, other employment
interests and communities. It aims to produce appropriately
qualified and skilled workers with excellent employment
and career prospects which meet the needs of the economy. |
Centre
of Excellence will focus on enhancing the skills and careers
of those already in work, enhancing the employability of
new entrants to the labour market, and the employment prospects
of those seeking employment (including self-employment).
It will enable development, maintenance and delivery of
high quality, specialist vocational training across a range
of new and traditional occupations. It will be innovative
in delivering training that develops both special and related
general skills. |
Centre
of Excellence will work closely with business and industry
to deliver industry relevant, economically important provision
of a high standard. |
| Objective
of the Schemes |
The
main objective is to update the existing ITIs into “Centre
of Excellence” for producing multi skilled workforce
of world standard by: |
- Introduction of new multi-skilling modular courses as
per needs of industry and to provide employable skills.
- Improvement of physical infrastructure facilities like
buildings, equipment etc.
- Adoption of new training technology with close involvement
of industry and other stakeholders in planning and implementation
of training programmes.
- Empowering these Centres by providing sufficient autonomy
in academic, administrative, financial and management
matters.
- Generating Income and investment for institutional development.
- Introducing short-term training programme for industrial
/ service sector personnel as per their specific requirements.
- Building up partnership with the nearby industries &
setting up of Institute Management Committees (IMCs) to
make training wholly demand driven.
|
| Coverage
of the Scheme |
A
total of 100 existing ITIs in various States/UTs (except
J & K and NE states – as there is separate plan
scheme for these States) for upgradation as “Centres
of Excellence”, will be covered under the proposed
scheme. |
| Funding
Pattern |
As
advised by M/o Finance, out of abovementioned 500 ITIs,
100 ITIs are to be upgraded from domestic resources and
the balance 400 from World Bank funding. The funding pattern
for the above as approved by the Ministry of Finance, GOI
is 75:25 to be shared by GOI and State Governments. |
Activities
to be taken up under the scheme
In order to take up above mentioned training programmes
following activities will be taken up under the scheme. |
| |
| Components
of the Schemes |
- Civil Works : Civil Works for carrying out additions/alterations
and renovations in the existing ITIs.
- Equipment : Modernisation/providing of equipment as
well as required furniture.
- Honararium etc to faculty : provision of funds for Guest
faculty, Contractual staff as well as payment of Honararium
to existing staff wherever required.
- Technical Assistance : retraining of staff and other
management personnel including training in new areas as
per requirement.
- Misc/ other works : curriculum development, training
material and misc items such as books, surveys, conducting

Misc Expenditure |
Rs. 45.00 Lakh |
| Total |
Rs. 160.00 Lakh |
|
| Guidelines
for selection of ITIs |
- A cluster of specific category of industry like automobile,
electronics, chemical, information Technology etc should
preferably be available in the surrounding areas of the
selected ITIs.
- Academic, administrative, financial and management autonomy
will have to be provided to the selected ITIs for functioning
of the Centres of Excellence.
- The selected ITI should have constituted / constitute
Institute Management Committees in order to create a public-private
partnership model for implementing the scheme.
- The selected ITI should have proper surroundings, sufficient
area for landscaping, well constructed buildings with
adequate space for additions/alterations and other infrastructural
facilities. The institute should be well connected by
road / railway station.
|
| CENTRES
OF EXCELLENCE |
| The location of ITIs
to be upgraded as ‘Centres of Excellence’ will
be identified in consultation with the respective State Governments. |
-
The training courses to be taken
up in the ‘Centres of Excellence’ will cater
to meet the skill demands of particular sector of Industry
like information Technology, Automobile, Chemical, Electronics
etc available in the surrounding areas of the selected
ITIs. For example, ITI Gurgoan having a luster of Automobile
and IT sector if covered under the scheme, will focus
mainly on the training programmes relating to either
of the two sectors.
- In case a particular ITI selected for upgradation in
IT sector is presently having trades like COPA and ITESM
then the ITI will discontinue training in the aforementioned
trades (COPA and ITESM). The infrastructure of COPA and
ITESM may be utilized by Centres of Excellence. Additional
identified infrastructure will be provided to Centres
of Excellence as per provisions in the scheme. ITI may
however, continue to organize training in other existing
trades.
- The ‘Centre of Excellence’ will be Nodal/Apex
Institute in the State for the particular sector and will
provide necessary assistance including training/retaining
of trainers.
- In case a particular sector is taken up in two or more
than two ‘Centres of Excellence’, then these
centres will cater to the it is in specific geographical
area of the State.
- structure of the courses to be offered will be as follows
:
1. Broad based multi-skill courses on a modular pattern
instead of conventional trade related courses.
2. Short term courses as per need of the local industry
would be offered after the broad based training.
Training/retraining of trainers
of ITIs.
3. Multi-entry and multi-exit flexible courses
4. Lateral and vertical mobility of trainees
-
The new training technology to be
adopted in the ‘Centres of Excellence’ for
imparting training will have the following features
:
• Focus on level of competencies to enable the
individual to attain qualification for performing a
job with the desired precision.
• Emphasis on learning through use of computers.
-
The level of the Competencie s of
the courses will be determined in consultation with
the industry as per their demand.
- The skill standards for the certification of the competencies
would be developed as per the demand of the industry keeping
in view the competency standards prescribed by advanced
countries such as NVQS developed by Australia, UK.
-
The testing and certification would
be done jointly by industry and Government to avoid
the gap between skill requirements and the competency
levels attained by the trainees. All India tests under
the aegis of NCVT will be organized for the broad based
basic training and some selected modules to have uniformity
in the syllabus and also to provide mobility to the
trainees. The industry association of the particular
areas should actively involve in evaluation of the skills
of trainees at the end of the training period. The theory
part can be taken up the ITI/Government. A mechanism
for joint certification (or two certificates-one from
industry and one from institute) needs to be developed.
- A comparison of a Government ITI with that of the Centre
of Excellence is given in Appendix.
|
| Training
of trainers |
The
requirement of training faculty for the Centres of Excellence
will be most by retraining of the existing faculty in the
institutes of national repute offering similar courses and
through short term training programme on Practice of Teaching
at DGE & T institutes. |
| Industry of train
trainers of training institute in the new emerging areas including
costly machines not available in ITIs. |
Guest
faculty
Industry to provide guest faculty on regular basis (may
be one/two session a week) for keeping the trainees and
trainers abreast of the latest techniques / trends of the
industry.
On-the job training
The industry to provide on-the-job training to the trainees
of ITIs for a sufficient period (may be for 2-4 weeks depending
upon the duration of course).
Donation of equipment
Industry/Industry association may donate equipment not available
in the it is and required for the training programme.
Training and certification
Industry to actively participate in testing and certification
of trainees.
States have been requested to identify ITIs having cluster
of particular industry. The Industry association of the
particular areas should actively involve in evaluation of
the skills of trainees at the end of the training period.
The theory part can be taken up the ITI/Government. A mechanism
for joint certification (or two certificates – one
from industry and one from institute) needs to be developed.
