CIDC – Activities: CIDC – CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY DEVELOPMENT COUNCIL- Facilitating

Nations Development:

The body works in close coordination with leading

government bodies and PSUs. The body with its Pan

India presence keeps a close tab on quality

assessment.

The Planning Commission, Government of India,

jointly with the Indian construction industry has set up

Construction Industry Development Council (CIDC) to

take up activities for the development of the Indian

construction industry. Since its inception in 1996, the

Council has taken several initiatives for the development of the industry. The body provides the

impetus and the organizational infrastructure to raise quality levels across the industry. This helps to

secure wider appreciation of the interests of construction business by the government, industry and

peer groups in society. The body acts as a change agent to accelerate a process of self-reform that

should enable the industry to answer the challenges of the future. The body also undertakes a wide

range of activities including conducting training programs, organizing workshops and seminars,

publishing journals and newsletters, organizing welfare programs for construction workers,

placement programs, and so on. CIDC works in close tandem with the Government in policy

formulation related to the industry.

The initiatives of the body include fa-cilitating standardization of construction contracts and

procedures, interaction with international organizations to upgrade technology, creating a vast pool

of trained manpower. It also aids the industry move from the current state of rule-bound, lowest-

price-based contracting to a more quality-conscious, time-bound & technology-driven one. It also

looks into dispute Resolution in Construction

Contracts. CIDC has established a number of institutes,

centers, and academies for training in construction

trades including training of operators in using modern

construction plants and machinery. This network offers

modern, environment-friendly, as well as regionally

and ethically relevant technologies. CIDC has

developed a system for standardization of training,

testing, and certification. The body works closely with

Indian and International standard organizations to

evolve and implement standards of practice.

It also strives to develop human resources, build institutions, and instill good practices in the

industry. CIDC has been on various Committees of the Bureau of Standards (BIS) for nearly two

decades now. It also works with various international standard agencies like British Standard

Institution, American Concrete Institute. It also offers a variety of business advisory services to

domestic and overseas organizations. It advises organizations on market-entry, market expansion,

project evaluation and monitoring, capacity building, database creation, promotion of best practices

and latest technologies, and many more.Another key area of focus of the council is workers welfare.

The CIDC proprietary model for supporting livelihood programs for weaker and marginal sections of

the society include empowerment of women, members of socially challenged groups, unemployed

groups, and people living below the poverty line.The body has also helped to establish a series of

retrofitting clinics across the country to assist in the pro-cess of structural retrofitting, helping re-

tain the built value of the structures as best as possible. DC has been relentlessly pursuing its goal of

enhancing the status of the Indian construction industry. It strives to synchronize the efforts of

different segments of the industry and government agen-cies to achieve common goals. Through its

various activities and initiatives, the council plays a very important role

in shaping the industry’s output and growth.

CIDC – Activities: In regard to advisory and arbitration function what new provisions have been added

by CIDC?

CIDC is relentlessly working towards achieving this target. Keeping in view the National Schemes like

“Make in India”, “Skilling India”, “Swachh Bharat” etc., CIDC is approaching various State

Government, Departments and PSUs for follwoing:

Evolving working models for quick resolution of contractual disputes is one of the chartered

objectives of CIDC & in this context, they joined hands with Singapore International Arbitration

Centre to constitute Construction Industry Arbitration Council (CIAC) in the year 2005. CIAC has the

unique distinction of not only being able to introduce Institutional arbitration in the country, but to

be an observer member of UNCITRAL working group.

Vast sums of monies are held up on account of non/ delayed finalization of commercial disputes, of

various nature in Infrastructure construction sector. This not only impedes the growth of Physical

Infrastructure, in the Nation, but also slows the economy, reduces employment, and also affects

adversely the Banking & Fi-nancing sector, which suffers from stressed assets.

To bringing in methods for quick resolution for such disputes, modifying the regulatory mechanisms

in vogue, a “High Powered Committee” under the chairmanship of Dr. Justice Arijit Pasayat Former

Judge, Supreme Court of India has been constituted.

I. To analyse & review effectiveness of present arbitration/dispute resolution mechanism, and

address the concerns & limitations of respective stake holders.

II. To evaluate information outreach and efficacy of existing legal framework for arbitration, as well

as the lending/ recovery mechanisms for future reference & emulation.

III. To Suggest measures for institutio-nalization of arbitration mechanism, national and

international, in India so as to make the country a hub of international commercial arbitration.

IV. To articulate & identify the areas of weakness & deliberate on suggested amendments.

V. To Devise an action plan for implemen-tation of the law to ensure speedier resolution of

disputes, identify pilot cases, form groups to act on these & create demonstrable cases for future

reference & emulation.

VI. To Recommend revision in institutional rules & regulations in the context of legal & lending

frame work.

VII. To Suggest a road map to the Government both at central & state level

VIII. To Recommend to the Institutions, the measures to make Institutional Arbitration more widely

available in curricula and study materials.

IX. To evolve an efficient arbitration ecosystem for expeditious resolution of International and

Domestic Commercial disputes.

X. To perform any function as endorsed by the claim.

What are the plans of training of personnel in the current year?

I. Targeting 14000 personnel to provide Worker’s Training & Vocational Training in Construction

Trades

II. Targeting 7000 personnel to facilitate Hands-on training and/ or arrange for “internships” to

technical graduates for their Continuing Professional Development (CPD)

1. Background IndSTT is now taking up a major initiative of training engineering students. IndSTT is member of the apex Indian Engineering Guild, Engineering Council of India (ECI) which is created for professionalization of Engineering Operations. Recently ECI has entered an MoU for conducting internships with Indian Government Technical Education Regulator, AICTE (http://www.aicte-india.org/downloads/eci.pdf). This MoU authorises ECI and its member associations to provide compulsory internships to students of AICTE approved programs. Total number of candidates for these training programs are close to 2.5 million each year. It is a giant step, and IndSTT, jointly with other 31 technical societies / associations, would be contributing its bit in this major national training initiative by providing some of these trainings in trenchless sector. As trenchless technology is a borderless profession, IndSTT is inviting Global Trenchless Stake holders to join this movement by working in partnership with IndSTT.

2. Indian Technical Education Scenario

In India, technical education contributes a major share to the overall education system and plays a vital role in the social and economic development. Technical education is imparted at various levels such as: craftsmanship, diploma, degree, post-graduate and research in specialized fields, catering to various aspects of technological development and economic progress in India. Volume wise, Indian Engineering and Technology education sector is one of the largest national higher education initiative with an annual graduation strength exceeding 2.5 million catering to all sections of trade and industry. This national initiative is regulated by All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE). With such vast numbers, interventions of AICTE need to be supplemented by the industry constituents and technology promotion organizations. In India, this assistance is being provided through internships and now a major initiative has been taken by AICTE by partnering with Engineering Council of India so that the output of graduates could be enhanced and thereby their employability.

3. All India Council for Technical Education

AICTE was established in November 1945 to survey on the facilities on technical education and to promote development in the country in a coordinated and integrated manner. And to ensure the same, as stipulated in, the National Policy of Education (1986), AICTE be vested with statutory authority for planning, formulation and maintenance of norms and standards, quality assurance through accreditation, funding in priority areas, monitoring and evaluation, maintaining parity of certification and awards and ensuring coordinated and integrated development and management of technical education in the country. In the year 1987, AICTE became a statutory body through an Act of Indian Parliament. Its objectives include proper planning and co-ordinated development of the technical education system throughout the country, the promotion of qualitative improvement of such education in relation to planned quantitative growth and the regulation and proper maintenance of norms and standards in the technical education system for matters connected therewith. AICTE has been empowered to take all such steps as it may think fit for ensuring coordinated and integrated development of technical and management education and maintenance of standards and for the purposes of performing its functions. Internships with ECI is one of such steps which is expected to transform the technical and management education sector from its current enviable position. AICTE details could be accessed from its website http://www.aicte-india.org.

ECI is registered as a Not–for-profit Society under the Societies Registration Act, 1860, and is the prime institution to standardize and harmonize, in various major engineering disciplines, professional practices in India and competency standards of practicing professionals with their counterparts in other member countries of WTO, having among their founding members Planning Commission (Now NITI Aayog), All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE), National Board of Accreditation (NBA), Central Public Works Department (Ministry of Urban Development), Department of Commerce (Ministry of Commerce & Industry), Dept. of Secondary and Higher Education (Ministry of HRD), Department of Scientific and Industrial Research, Council of Scientific & Industrial Research & several other Professional Institutions. ECI members, individually, are engaged in different trainings, and with subject MoU would also get involved in the collective national movement. A detailed list of its members and other details are hosted on ECI website www.ecindia.org.

5. Need of internships in Indian Perspective and Profile of Candidate

The technological advancement and rapid growth of the Indian industrial sector requires professional education

system to continuously update and upgrade at a matching pace, so that the learners are well trained in modern

technologies and can adopt innovation to meet the challenges. However, due to substantially vast numbers of

learners from various technology and management streams and limited resources, the professional institutions

like engineering or management colleges and Universities are finding the updating the education systems and

skilling of enrolled students somewhat difficult.

In many cases, due to poor knowledgebase, the passed-out graduates are unable to render appropriate services

to Industry and are either under-employed or at times left without any employment. These individuals, who

otherwise could have been a better professional, could not grow due to shortcomings of their educational

institutions.

This situation is of no-win for all, the industry is unable to get quality manpower, and is forced to engage under-

qualified individuals and delivering erroneous or bad quality products at one end of this chain, and the

candidates, who despite having invested their time and monies, are not adequately skilled to deliver appropriate

services to their employers and in turn remain under or un-employed at other end of this chain. The society, in

totality, looses a lot as at one end valuable resources are being spent on creating lower valued human assets,

and at other, the outputs of these undertrained individuals results in more losses for the society.

The need today is to create learning opportunities so that graduating candidates are empowered and made

adequately employable. These opportunities are now being made available to learners through these internships

by AICTE jointly with ECI and its Member Associations. Such ECI members, like IndSTT, who until now, were

conducting such programs in a limited manner, are now included in the formal education system as participation

in their internship programs are proposed to be made mandatory for the award of the degrees from Indian

Universities.

6. Salient Features of the AICTE-ECI MoU:

Both the parties, upon recognizing the increasing importance of hands-on training and continuous skill up gradation of new entrants & practicing engineers, have decided to act jointly by introducing compulsory Apprenticeship/ internship in the technical institutions, for increasing employability of Technical Graduates. Both the parties have entered an MoU to initiate and implement programs of apprenticeship and up-gradation of skills, to enable upliftment of their economic and social status. MoU can be viewed at http://www.aicte-india.org/downloads/eci.pdf

7. PLAN OF ACTION

ECI has been invited by AICTE, to act as the authorized body to facilitate Hands-on training and/ or arrange for “internships” to technical graduate education for their Continuing Professional Development (CPD).

Vol.6 Issue -VII E – Journal of CIDC July, 2017

CIDC – Activities:

AICTE has agreed that it shall provide database of AICTE approved technical institutions to ECI.

AICTE has also decided to issue required “Advisories”, “Directives” or introduce regulatory provisions, as deemed necessary, to the colleges/ Technical Institutions and Universities to further the objectives of this initiative.

ECI, either directly or through its members, shall approach colleges, technical institutions and professional organisations and make necessary arrangements towards implementation of desired objectives.

ECI shall also organize Continuing Professional Development (CPD) programs and work towards professionalisation of engineers, particularly for taking part in trade in engineering services in the world-integrated market economy of India.

ECI shall carry out the internships, hands-on-training and CPD through its Member Professional Engineering Associations /Societies / Institutions, as per Systems and Procedures laid down by the ECI.

ECI has been authorised to issue Certificates of Participation in the CPDs and Internship as per Systems & Procedures laid down by the ECI.

8. Trenchless Internship Program for Engineering Students & Faculty Members

In an endeavour to provide quality manpower to the trenchless industry and to enhance professional performance of fresh engineers, IndSTT, jointly with trenchless construction industry stakeholders, has been offering variety of internship programmes for the students and faculty members from the core engineering disciplines for the last few years. IndSTT is providing this training in trenchless technology sector with a view to helping the growth of, both learners, as well as trenchless technology sector. The systematic approach of these programmes, with emphasis on the specific needs of the industry on a real-time basis, enables learners to acquire additional knowledge and exposure beyond conventional education, and enhance their employability hence providing the value addition to Industry.

9. Internship Process and Expected outcomes

Approved internship programme duration is of six (6) months with five (5) months of onsite/on job training with

companies, and 15 days each of pre-and post-internship training and submission of project report to a grand

internship jury. Currently, the pre-and post-internship training and project report submission to a grand jury is

done at IndSTT corporate office and training centre at Faridabad, Haryana. With this MoU in place, these activities

shall be performed at number of places, both in India and overseas as well.

Currently, upon joining the program, the candidate is put through the pre-internship training after which the

learner is deputed for the five months to a host organization. The industry partners supporting this programme

work as the host organizations. The program envisages that the host organization will locate the intern engineer

or manager at its sites or to works locations as may be appropriate for a period of five months. Upon conclusion

of five months of on-site/on-job training, the candidate is required to return the central training centre, prepare

the internship report, and then face the grand jury for program end testing and certification during the post

internship period.

As the AICTE is making this training and the certification mandatory for the grant of degree, learners would,

through this regulation, gain immensely. During this period of on-site/on-job posting, the intern, while

contributing to the work at site is also expected to achieve proficiency in his stream. This internship helps the

student in gaining the essential skills that would be useful in creating a successful career as the learner gets

exposed to real life situations and their proper solutions. This enables him or her to learn the basic skills needed

in future professional life. Additionally, during the internship, the student is expected to abide by the rules and

regulations of the site of posting and strictly adhere and follow instructions of the designated site officer leading

to the understanding about HSE (Health, Safety & Environment) in a better way.

Page 12: VISHWAKARMA - CIDCcidc.in/support/vis-ejournal/2017/Month July 2017.pdfP a g e | 3 VISHWAKARMA Vol.6 Issue -VII E – Journal of CIDC July, 2017CIDC – Activities: project evaluation

P a g e | 12 VISHWAKARMA

Vol.6 Issue -VII E – Journal of CIDC July, 2017

CIDC – Activities: The organization gains through the availability of a trained engineer who throughout the internship makes a

positive contribution at site as he is tuned to the organization’s needs and environment. The organization also

gains this valuable resource at a minimal sourcing and administrative cost and if found suitable, the candidate

turns out into an asset as a future employee.

10. National Database of Interns

ECI, in its systems, has the process of register of engineers and the individuals put through these internships, are

proposed to be included as student engineers in the registry of ECI. Such engineers, after meeting the basic

requirements, can get elevated in different ranks of professional engineering qualifications in line with the

registration systems established by ECI. This registration will also offer opportunities to trained individuals to

have authenticated referral system to support them in their quest for employment and continuance thereof as

well.

11. Continued Professional Development of trained students by ECI

Under the MoU it has also been agreed that ECI shall also organize Continuing Professional Development (CPD)

programs and work towards professionalisation of engineers, particularly for taking part in trade in engineering

services in the world-integrated market economy of India. With reference to interns this system is proposed to

be deployed to continue the professional development of individuals so that the growth of the person continues

beyond the internship periods and he or she becomes an asset for the industry and the society.

12. Invitation to International Stakeholders

In the end, I would like to invite international organizations to join hands with IndSTT in this major capacity

building exercise to create individuals skilled enough to serve them as operators, supervisors, or engineers, both

in Indian Markets, as well as in other high growth international markets.

India represents a major market for Trenchless products and services and since inception IndSTT has been

working vigorously to promote cross border technology and equipment transfer. Many a times, a sophisticated

technology fails to click in Global Trenchless Markets like India, due to factors linked with manpower or the

application skills. Such issues could be addressed, if the technology promoters engage cost effective individuals

who could be cultivated into workers/supervisors/engineers skilled enough to apply the technology in question.

Trenchless technologists interested in operating in India could benefit immensely if such interns are trained in

applying their technology in India. For an example, IndSTT is currently conducting a training program jointly with

DCI wherein 25 engineers are being trained in Walkover Locating skills using Falcon locator. This training will

assist DCI in having as many engineers knowing about the virtues of this product in India and capable to use it.

As this product is new in Indian markets, the trained individuals would act as ambassadors of DCI and hopefully

assist the business growth in a more inclusive manner. This training would conclude by the first week of August

2017 and the trained persons would be offered for employment to employers using Falcon.

Manufacturers, marketing their products in India, could consider creating equipment operators, maintenance

personnel, marketing personnel, or other team members from the trainee engineering or management

graduates. Cross border contracting companies could look at individuals who could assist operations of their local

agencies in technology marketing in addition to the positions as proposed for manufacturers. Individual

organizations, interested in producing their equipment or products in India to gain from the scale of economy

could consider cultivating production workers for such items. For an example, a CIPP or GRP liner, or a clay pipe

profile, or a jacking pipe if produced in India, could result in a more cost effective project compared to those

where such materials are shipped across the globe.

Another possibility is of having job ready cost effective individuals from India, who could be deployed at any of

the international sites.

P a g e | 13 VISHWAKARMA

Vol.6 Issue -VII E – Journal of CIDC July, 2017

CIDC – Activities: In addition to creating individuals, another major possibility is of using the local skills in executing R&D activities

through the engagement of the local faculty of engineering colleges. Such efforts could culminate into getting

results of R&D suiting Indian conditions. For an example, apart from technical researches for the use of a specific

trenchless application to meet any Indian project requirement effectively, the faculty members could be trained

and certified in design skills needed for specific types of project requirements or developing technique variants

suiting Indian needs. Such certified faculty members could subsequently work jointly with the international

partner to advise local stakeholders and develop business. The local presence of trained persons would be an

added advantage as these persons could represent the original designers at a fraction of cost. Location of training

could be India or other nations as chosen by the host organization. Selection of candidates could be done in line

with the requirements of a specific internship proposition from the host organisation. For overseas training

programs training costs, international travel costs, visa issues, insurance and taxes, duration of overseas posting,

housing, and allowances etc. would need to be worked out by jointly by host organisation and indSTT. For

internships in India, or online training where the candidate is to based in India, issues are already sorted out and

programs are going on. IndSTT would be keen to have partnerships with global stakeholders to assist the growth

enhancement of Trenchless Technology in India through these internships both in India as well as overseas.

MoU signed with All India Council for Technical Education (Ministry of HRD, Govt. of India) for providing Internship to Engineering & Management students
