The Maharashtra government was concerned
Speaking at the at the 45th annual national convention and international
conference of Indian Society for Technical Education held in Amravati, Mr Desai
said that Maharashtra has bagged 35 per cent of the total FDI in the country,
but merely attracting investors is not enough.Mr Desai further added that the
first of the proposed 10 textile parks was coming up in Nandgaonpeth near
Amravati, which was being developed as a model township for textile. According China mechanical stretch fabric
Manufacturers to the minister, nine big textile houses like NTC, Siyaram,
Shyam Indofab and Raymonds were setting huge units here with a collective
investment of over Rs15,000 crore, thus creating job opportunities for more than
10,000 locals.
The Maharashtra government was concerned about the state of the
affairs and concentrated its efforts on skill development, the minister said.
They can’t recruit mere degree holders. They apply but get no reply.Regarding
the textile industry, Mr Desai said that the state government is introducing a
new policy, as textile is an important sector.Maharashtra industries minister
Subhash Desai on Sunday urged education institutions giving engineering training
to focus on skill development.. This is happening because we haven’t revamped
even the basic courses taught at our ITIs over the last 50 years," the minister
said while calling for reshaping of education that is being imparted at these
institutions. "Earlier, the textile industry was focused in non-cotton growing
regions, but now we have decided to set up this industry in only cotton-growing
regions and 10 textile parks are coming up in the Vidarbha, Marathwada and north
Maharashtra regions ," he said. The others keep struggling."Around 10 lakh
graduates pass out every year and look for jobs. He said that today’s employers
want to employ persons who will be of utility to their industry and won’t hire
anybody simply because the person has a degree. "The industries are demanding
skilled manpower.To overcome this problem, the state invited industry captains
from the world to impart skill training to the ITI students and signed an MoU
with Bosch so that the workforce became employable, the minister added. And
here, everything makes a difference," he said. Only 20 per cent of them find
jobs
