September 24th, 2010
Following is an excerpt from an IANS report with the locations added by me.
The Orissa government Friday signed agreements with six more companies for setting up industrial training centres in the state, an official said.
… The companies which signed the agreements through their representatives were GMR Kamalanga Energy Limited (Dhenkanal), IMFA Limited, Deepak Steel and Power Limited (Barbil), Bhusan Energy Limited (Dhenkanal), BRG Iron and Steel Co Private ltd (Dhenkanal) and Lanco Babandh Power ltd (Dhenkanal).
These companies will establish at least one industrial training centre at identified locations, the official said.
There is an annual requirement of 140,000 to 180,000 trained personnel in highly-skilled, semi-skilled and non-executive workforce in metal and manufacturing sector in the state alone. The government has signed the agreements as part of its steps to bridge the gap between demand and supply, the official said.
As per the agreement, the state government will identify and transfer required land on payment and the company will develop required infrastructure within one year of taking the land.
The government had earlier this year signed similar pacts with different private companies for setting up 20 industrial training centres at different identified locations,…
With the latest agreements, the number of proposed industrial training centres in the state for which pacts were signed reached 26, he said.
In another recent news NALCO’s ITI in Damanjodi was inaugurated by the CM recently. Following is an excerpt from a report in indiaeducationdiary.
The Chief Minister of Orissa, Shri Naveen Patnaik, laid the Foundation-stone for Industrial Training Institute (ITI) today in Damanjodi …
With an objective to provide training facility to the local students of periphery villages of M&R Complex, Damanjodi, the ITI is being set up through Public-Private Participation (PPP) mode. Initially, an amount of Rs. 1 crore 16 lakhs has been set aside by NALCO from its periphery development fund for the purpose. Setting up of the ITI also aims at enhancing the skill-sets of local youths and helps them to enhance their employability in future, in view of the rapid industrialization in the State.
Students from tribal & weaker sections from the periphery villages will be given priority in admissions, apart from other students of the area in the upcoming ITI. Recurring expenditure to run the institute will be met out of the periphery development fund of NALCO. The land for setting up the institute & other facilities will be provided by District Administration.

This is an encouraging trend. I guess if the companies really put the efforts it will help to develop skilled manpower in the state. Gujrat is already moving in this direction. I think other state will follow this trend soon. So to have a good head start proposals like this should be pursued with urgency.
