 నేత్ర్సితినింశిబిందైనంవి గత్ర్ని నిన documents and we found out that MSR వాసినానింవాసిని నితిందింతేది పరటిని. He happens to be visiting Mumbai yesterday for some other meeting. I invited him here and he is here. And since he also deals with training of trainers, much the same thing that we all do, I thought it would be nice to have him share his ideas with us and his challenges in training. So Mr. Alok Kumar would you please come down. He is a very senior officer and additional secretary in the ministry of labour. I wish people like him come to ministry of human resource development. So that we can combine our joint ambitions and experiences. Thank you. Thank you Alok. All yours. Very good morning to all of you. And I am very happy to be here with you. Let me give a brief background for understanding. In the government of India, I work in ministry of labour and employment. It has many wings. One of the wing is Directorate General of Employment and Training. Its name is Employment and Training. It's a very old organization. So I had that organization at the moment. I joined in February 2014 only. Before that I was working in government of UPS principle secretary in the department of vocational education and skill development. So this Directorate General has two wings. One is to give a background. One way is that it oversees and supervises all the industrial training institutes across the country. And at the moment we have around 10,000 ITIs. Say around two and a half thousand are government and other seven and a half thousand are private ITIs. And we have a seating capacity. That means a training capacity of about 15 lakh. That is 1.5 million. And we turn out around 8 to 9 lakh ITI pass-outs every year. And the other wing just to give a complete perspective is the employment. That is we have network government, network government, thousand employment exchanges around across the country which we are primarily trying to computerize and turn them as a national career service. So for the youth of this country and for the people who are already working they will be the user of this service, national career service to get to know what type of occupations are available, what are the prospects, what are the wages, what are their choices, where they can go for which type of training and after doing training they can post their CV and the other users will be like all the employers in private and government they can come on and the virtual job fairs can be held. So it's a small background. So coming back to the ITI part of my job if you see in totality the ITIs were created to support the manufacturing activity in the country because to train the shop floor worker in different trades like electrician or machinist now there are also new occupations new streams coming in. So these ITI workers they are part of the hierarchy in the manufacturing like you have an engineer then you have a supervisor then you have a worker. So the quality at each level is important for a very effective manufacturing productivity and quality and which is the objective of the whole say like one of the main objective of the Indian economy that India should be a great manufacturing giant and a very big exporter of its goods. So in that perspective we are in the process of revamping the all slavers of ITIs. So we are in fact partnering with the pre-man institutions like IITs in fact we are I am here I am going to have a sex next meeting with the HOD of the electrical engineering in IT Mumbai and request him that he should be the our core resource person for revamping the slavers of the ITI pass outs in electrical trade so that whatever is the latest technology that is taught in our ITIs and the worker who is passing out ITI he is aware and he can work on the latest technology so that when engineers go to the manufacturing facility the worker is also up to date and he is trained that is the whole endeavour so now this slavers update will be very dynamic and it will also require once the slavers is updated it will require the production of the teaching material the production of course material and also the short term periodical training of my instructors in the ITIs and say for every 20th student we have a norm of one instructor so for about 15 lakh seats in effect we have we need to have around 75,000 instructors and they are working all across the country so calling them for say training training in the new slavers is a challenge it is very time taking and there are not many instructors so if they come to distant places who will continue the classes in the ITIs so we are now working on a project for using the distance learning technologies distance teaching technologies for the training of trainers in our industrial training institutes so that project has brought me here today and in fact we are working with HRD and we our team they have already visited Niter centre in Chandigarh they have also visited ISRO this is my visit so to get a perspective and what type of what all technologies are available and how best we can utilize our experts from industry and premier academic institutions to train the ITI instructors so this was also a demo for me which was we scheduled in your today's program just to get me a feel to give me a feel how will this software will work and what all is the requirement for the infrastructure to roll out and let me share we have a very ambitious target of doing this first training for the ITI all across the countries in say mid from mid of June to July because our next session in ITI is going to start from August and our new syllabus is getting ready so we are running against the time and that why we were so hard pressed to do this training before the next session starts so that is why we are now going to use distance learning, distance teaching technology like you are participating in this similarly our master trainers our instructors and also the lessons which will give to the instructors will be given by the industry experts and the academic experts like the eminent people in ITI and engineering colleges this is a short talk I wanted to give you and I am very happy to work with professor Patak and his colleagues and I wish you all the best in this thank you very much
