Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

With regards,

RE: Whom to Train ? How to Train ?


Dear Nattu,

Thanks for your suggestion

For over 18 months now , I have been sending ( almost ) all of my proposals to Ministers / Secretaries ( both , at the centre and in the States ) , but hardly any feedback !

Perhaps , they receive thousands of suggestions ( emails ) and find it difficult to respond to all

In all fairness , I must add that I did receive an acknowledgement ( once ) from Revenue Secretary , Shri Hasmukh Adhia and 4/5 acknowledgements from Shri Amitabh Kant ( earlier , Secretary - DIPP / now , CEO - NITI Aayog ) , who even found time to meet me for 30 minutes when in Mumbai on 05 Sept 2015 !

I am not giving up and my request is that , if other L&T Colleagues find any of my ( email ) suggestions worthy of supporting , then they may want to add their own endorsement and click " Reply All " ( as you did )

Thanking you once again



Warm Regards,

Hemen Parekh

Dear Hemen-ji

I suggest that you put forward this proposal to PMO. Our PM & team nowadays surely listens.

Cheers

Whom  to   Train  ?   How  to   Train  ?


A report in Economic Times ( 24 Feb ) talks of the exercise undertaken by NITI Aayog to ,

*  Map the skill requirements of 22 industry sectors ( " Make in India" listing )


The exercise is expected to be completed in 6 months , after which , NITI Aayog will prepare a sector wise road

 map with targets to be achieved across sectors in the given time


The road map will lay down a process for training ( skilling / re-skilling ) some 402 million youth by 2022


The report adds that the Skills Ministry ( headed by Shri Rajiv Pratap Rudy ) has outlined :

1500 job roles ( like trade classifications / vocational designations ? )

6,700 qualifications ( job descriptions  ?  )


I suppose much of those trainings will be imparted in following Industrial Training Institutes ( ITIs )  :


*  13,105   ( existing as on 2014 )

*    1,150   ( set up by Skills Ministry in 2015 )

*    7,000   ( targeted to be set up in 2016  )


MY  SUGGESTION  :


In India , we have :

*   4300   Degree level Engineering Colleges

*     700   Diploma level Engineering Colleges


All of these colleges have WORKSHOPS equipped with different types of machines needed for " Skills Training "


These ASSETS are used / occupied only for a maximum of 8 hours ( daytime ) and remain idle for 16 hours

Through a partnership with these colleges , NITI Aayog should consider using these UNDER-UTILIZED assets for
 imparting skills to those who need


Such an arrangement will :

*  Enable NITI Aayog to accelerate this program , without a long mobilization time

Save thousands of crores of rupees in constructing new buildings / buying new machines

*  Boost " Make in India " initiative by making available skilled manpower at short notice

*  Increase ASSET UTILIZATION of scarce resources

*  Foster INDUSTRY - EDUCATION INSTITUTES cooperation through closer interaction

Enable College Faculty involved to earn extra income through charging PLACEMENT FEES to industry


What  about  Schools  ?

*  We have 1.3 million schools in India . But these schools do NOT have workshops / machinery

*  Between them , these Schools have millions of class rooms which too remain unutilized for 16 hours per day


 MY   SUGGESTION  :


*   Ask Sundar Pichai ( Google ) to convert all of these Schools into Wi-Fi Hot Spots ( of course , free of cost ! )

*   And Tim Cook ( Apple ) to provide iPAD-Pro tablets ( no doubt , free ! )

*   And Satya Nadela ( Microsoft ) to provide software support ( ex-gratis  ! )

Then use these 1.3 million schools to provide basic COMPUTER SKILLS to future DATA ENTRY OPERATORS


Where there is a WILL , there is a WAY ( even a Super Highway , if there is a Political Will )
