The Electronics Sector Skills Council of India CEO N.K. Mohapatra anticipates the electronics manufacturing cluster projects to take shape in a year, thus fuelling a significant demand for trained manpower.
Most of them remain on government files or the accessible road may be an issue for “something done somewhere,” but all of that will change. Within a year the investments would be on ground in real facilities, he said. That is when “you need real people to operate them as well. There is a huge requirement coming our way in terms of electronic manufacturing.” The electronic space is looking very good now, be it LED, security surveillance, automation or semi-conductor design, Mr. Mohapatra told The Hindu . He was in Hyderabad recently for the opening of the centre of excellence for skill development in solar electronics that ESSCI has established in partnership with the Engineering Staff College of India.
Describing ESSCI as a finishing school, he said the emphasis is on readying people for the jobs. The Council works in association with partner agencies and training the trainers in many areasis its focus.
