Prof. Suraj Marathe introducing the employees of Godrej and Boyce to PMKVY

The National Policy for Skill Development and Entrepreneurship, 2015 has projected a shortage of 109 million skilled persons by 2022 and called for an integrated effort to step up skilling of youth under the Pradhan  Mantri Kaushal  Vikas Yojana(PMKVY).

Keeping in view, it is decided by the Ministry of Human Resource Development that All India Council for Technical Education, New Delhi will run the Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana (PMKVY) to train the unemployed youth in engineering skills through AICTE approved Engineering colleges and Polytechnics. The Technical Institutions/ Polytechnics have to utilize their existing infrastructure and resources for offering these courses in the off-college hours such that the unemployed youth enrolled for these courses shall acquire adequate skills under the National Skill Qualification Framework (NSQF) and find suitable placement/self-employment. Under this initiative, the Council will give Grant in Aid to institutions as per the terms and conditions stipulated under the scheme.

In DBCE the scheme was started in the year 2015/16 in the field of Turning, Drilling and Fitting with batch size of 24 students; Employees of Godrej and Boyce enrolled under this scheme to upgrade their skills. Syllabus was framed keeping in mind of their requirements. The grant of Rs. 97250 was approved by AICTE, after submitting the progress report, the second instalment of Rs. 74500 was granted.

All registered students must cover about 250 Hrs as per the scheme, which we are completing in every Saturday with maximum 5 hrs. In this, first students are introduced to the topic, safety requirement, housekeeping, productivity aspects, recants trends and all important technical terminology and concepts followed by hands on practical jobs.

For the year 2017/18 beside above stream we had register for the Civil and electronic field, and planning to run for two batches.
