The Department of Heavy Industry (DHI) under the Ministry of Heavy Industry and Public Enterprises proposes to formulate a comprehensive plan for skill development in specific sectors such as automobile, heavy electrical, engineering and machines tool sectors. This was announced by Shri Vilasrao Deshmukh, Union Minister for Heavy Industry and Public Enterprises as part of the 100 day agenda of the Ministry recently.
The Department of Heavy Industry is concerned with the development of the engineering industry viz. machine tools, heavy electrical, industrial machinery and auto industry and administers 32 operating Central Public Sector Enterprises (CPSEs). The CPSEs under the Department are engaged in manufacture of engineering/capital goods, consultancy and contracting services. Apart from above, there are small, medium and large enterprises also operating in the private sector. There are various industry associations which are taking care of these enterprises operating in the private sector. To ensure proper, streamlined and high growth rate during the current fiscal and in future, the availability of adequately trained manpower for these sectors would be an absolute necessity. Hence the proposal of DHI to draw up a comprehensive skill development plan for the afore-mentioned sectors.
Ensuring the availability of skilled and trained manpower is a sine qua non for generating employment opportunities in the capital goods sector. Apart from this, it will also help in the creation of a reservoir of human talent to work in capital and labour intensive sectors which are the prime movers of the economy. The initiative of the Department of Heavy Industry is to be seen as providing the necessary fillip to help these sectors emerge as globally competitive hubs apart from creating our own global giants in these fields.
