The Training wing of the Headquarters which bears the responsibility for the educational planning and administration of the craftsmen training programme implemented through a network of the I.T.Is., serves as a nucleus around which all the activities rotate. The strength of ITI trainees, which was about 5000 at the beginning of Fifth Five year Plan, is now 9000. This is further intended to be increased to about 10,000 trainees during 11th Five Year Plan, when more I.T.Is. are proposed to be opened and expansion of existing ITIs is also planned Considering the proposed expansion and the laid down norms of DGE&T, Govt. of India, and the vast dispersal of the institutions in the NCT of Delhi. Dte. of Head Quarters is proposed to be strengthened suitably. Under the Apprenticeship Act, 1961, it is a statutory obligation for the Private and Public Organizations to engage apprentices in certain designated trades on the basis of the strength of their workers in the designated trades. The office of the Apprenticeship Adviser is responsible for the smooth conduction of the Apprenticeship Training Programme in the National Capital Territory of Delhi. The objective of the Act would be to fully utilize the potential for Apprenticeship training facilities available in the National Capital Territory of Delhi by identifying/surveying industrial establishments of the UT of Delhi, which are yet to be covered under the Act and to improve the quality and quantity of the Apprenticeship Training. It is also proposed to introduce computerization in the Apprenticeship Office with the installation of the computer system and setting up of computer centre.

Most of the courses/trades running in the Industrial Training Institute, at present are having duration extending from one to two years with eligibility educational qualification 8th, 10th 12th. It has, however, been felt that due to hard economic conditions, some students do not join these courses, as they cannot afford to wait for a period of one/two/three years, due to their family conditions. Marginal farmers and landless labourers families who are also occupied in farm activities are also not willing to attend long duration courses.

374

Short duration courses to make them capable of self-employment have, therefore, been introduced in the ITIs during morning/evening hours.

Core Elements: In order to achieve the vision envisaged in the preamble the Delhi Skills Mission will have the following objectives. 1. To enable 25% of the needy population to become skilled in three years and to have 50 % of the needy population skill-empowered in five years. About a fourth of the trainees would come from slum-clusters and a fourth of the total number of trainees would be women, within a period of 5 years. 75% of the trainees should be enabled to become wage-employed or self-employed. All the skill training programmes, should result in marketable skills. To upgrade the existing Industrial Training Institutes and Industrial Training Centres into Centres of Excellence by suitably upgrading the infrastructure facilities, revamping obsolete programmes and introducing new programmes of relevance and demand. Extending the current Center of Excellence Concept, from a part of the ITI to the entire ITI bringing the entire ITI under the management control of the Institute Management Committee.

To provide end-to-end services to needy youth, beginning with orienting them towards vocational training programmes to enabling them in funding appropriate employment opportunities either through self or wage-employment. Linking Delhis skill development activities to employment abroad: One of the major drivers behind the Skill Development Mission is the demand supply gap of skilled workers, internationally. While India enjoys a demographic dividend on account of its young population, a large number of developed countries are burdened with aging populations. The skilled personnel developed through the Skill Development Mission need to be enabled to find employment in international settings, so that true benefits of Indias demographic dividend and efforts in skill building could be fully realized. It is proposed to develop atleast 2 of our ITIs to international standards in collaboration with various country partners. Development of these ITIs to international standards would be planned, funded and implemented through the Delhi Skills Mission. To start with ITIs at Siri Fort and Sir CV Raman ITI at Dheerpur are proposed for upgradation to international quality levels. It is proposed to train about 2.50 lakhs persons in five years.

On the initiative of the Chief Secretary, the department has launched a scheme namely Earn While You Learn for maintenance of Government buildings by the ITIs of Delhi as a Pilot Project under Delhi Skills Mission Society The scheme has been drafted keeping in view the strength of the department in terms of the skilled manpower i.e. experienced instructors (teachers) and the trainees (students). To begin with, the proposal is to maintain all the buildings of the Department of Training & Technical Education except the buildings of the Degree Level Colleges and the residential complexes. Subsequently, it is proposed to extend this maintenance, in phases, to other building of the department and buildings of other departments also. This would provide the students not only the hands on experience (on the job training) but would also give them an opportunity to earn while learning in the ITIs. The objectives of the scheme are : a) b) c) d) To provide cost effective and timely maintenance of select Government buildings with focus on quality. To provide opportunity to the students of the ITIs to get on the job training. To provide opportunity to the students to earn while they learn. To enhance the placement prospects of the students.

385

The students as well as instructors will not only improve their professionalism but will also learn soft skills like team building, leadership and work ethics.

Keeping in view the age of the trainees and risks involved, it is not possible to undertake the major, hazardous and risky works under this Scheme by the ITIs, but the following civil and electrical works relating to day to day maintenance can be undertaken: Civil Works : 1. Carpentry & Wood Work 2. Plumbing / Painter Work 3. Welding & Steel Fabrication Work 4. Drainage & Sewerage System works 5. White Wash 6. Masonry Work Electrical Works : 1. Repair & maintenance of Electrical Fixtures or Appliances (Except those covered under warranty or guarantee) 2. Replacement of Electrical Fixtures 3. Replacement of Faulty wiring 4. Maintenance of Water Coolers & Air Conditioner An expenditure of Rs.100.00 lakh is anticipated in Annual Plan 2009-10 and an outlay of Rs.200.00 lakh has been kept for this scheme in Annual plan 2010-11.
