sending comments – 16 May 2014 Each Mentor Council to go through the revisions proposed by other Mentor Councils

before 16 May 2014 in order to:• Understand the approach to revision of curricula and see if any of it may be adopted by them

in future• Share learnings/ best practices for benefit of all• Provide an outsiders view and recommend changes, if any

39

Guidelines for finalizing changes in curricula

The proposed changes will be finalized once the comments from public as well asother Mentor Councils are incorporated• Changes to be incorporated by the core groups latest by 23rd May 2014• Approval of NCVT sub-committee to be accorded by 30th May 2014

Following guidelines may be kept in mind while finalizing the changes in curricula:• Instructor qualification must be clearly mentioned; for e.g.: Instead of writing diploma holder

from relevant trade, the streams MUST be mentioned• Where the trade leads to employment in Government sector, the name of the course should

remain same• Utility of all costly machinery must be ensured; every machine to be linked with experiments

clearly; Specifications must also be mentioned to facilitate expeditious procurement• Minimum changes in curricula in 1st semester, especially for equipment, must be ensured• List of newly introduced equipment must be highlighted• New equipment to be included in such a semester that adequate time for procurement is

available to all ITIs• Requirement for training of instructors for handling new curricula be clearly identified

40

Implementation strategy for changes proposed

The process of revamping curriculum will lead to either one of the three situations,i.e. modification of existing courses, addition of new courses and deletion ofexisting courses

The timelines for implementation of these three are given below:• Modification of existing courses: To be implemented from August 2014 session for CTS and

immediately for SDIS• Addition of new courses: To be implemented as and when the ITI/VTP gets the new trade/

module affiliated• Deletion of existing courses:

o For CTS: No new admissions to be taken in the August 2015 session. Course to bediscontinued once the batches who have taken admission up to August 2014 sessionpass out

o For SDIS: No new admissions to be taken once module gets de-notified; Module to bediscontinued once all existing batches pass-out

41

Identifying new courses as per industry demand

States such as Uttar Pradesh, Gujarat and Maharashtra have evolved a mechanismfor flexible Vocational Training Courses with active participation of industry in ITIpremises• Local industry is permitted to use ITI infrastructure (on the basis of a formal MoU laying

down the terms and conditions) for conducting special Vocational Training Programmes• Industry to assure placement of more than 70% candidates• Industry also contribute towards machines and equipment for training, industry experts for

imparting training and also in design of curriculum• Special fee structure is put in place or sometime they are financially supported by the

concerned State Government

It is proposed that such high employment potential specially designed for which theconcerned Government ITI and the industrial unit enter into a MoU (includingassurance of high level placement) be encouraged• Such courses when recommended by the State Government may be considered by the

relevant Mentor Council for issue of NCVT Certificate• Courses must be long term courses of at least one year duration• DGE&T be allowed to charge special examination fee for such courses since it will involve

extra expenditure for small number of candidates

Integrating traditional/native skills

Many stakeholders have given feedback that flexibility needs to be brought in thesystem to allow for customization of existing courses based on the local skills/requirement

It is proposed that traditional skills/ clusters with the help of State Governmentsand M/o MSME be identified for inclusion in CTS and SDIS• A committee including members from Advance Training Institutes, Regional Vocational

Training Institutes and DGE&T Headquarters be constituted• Committee to determine the skill requirement and recommend CTS/ SDIS courses that may

be developed for imparting these skills• Trainers may be identified from within the cluster (leading SSI/ group of small skilled

workers) and training may be imparted directly at the working place

Another option is to identify local skills, develop MES courses and give option to ITIsto train CTS pass-outs in respective MES course as well• This model is being adopted by many textile/apparel training institutes, wherein a basic

course of embroidery is taught to all candidates followed by a region specific training inembroidery based on local skill set

National Knowledge Network

The National Knowledge Network is a network which provides a unified high speednetwork backbone for all knowledge related institutions in the country• Purpose of such a knowledge network is to build quality institutions with requisite research

facilities and creating a pool of highly trained professionals• The NKN has various applications such as for collaborative research, grid computing, virtual

library, e-governance as well as enabling distance education through country-wide virtualclassrooms

Incubation Centres and Chairs will continuously guide the Ministry in its researchactivities• The Ministry has 10 Advanced Training Institutes across the country that conduct training in

various trades/ topics• These ATIs act as a link between the research institutions and industry by designing and

delivering training programs for implementing the new technology which has emerged as aresult of the R&D and supplying trained manpower

It is proposed that the ATIs and similar central institutions of DGET be connectedwith the National Knowledge Network to allow the ATIs to participate indevelopment and adoption of new emerging indigenous technologies by providingskilled foot soldiers for use of such technologies in our industrial units
