The way senior officers make efforts for their promotion, in the same way they should hold DPC for promotions of their subordinate staff. Proposals for DPC to fill vacancies in Skill Development Department should be sent within 8 days.
This was directed by Technical Education and Skill Development Minister Umashankar Gupta to departmental officers at a meeting here on Wednesday.
Gupta undertook division-wise review of skill development centres and vocational training centres.
Gupta said that youth should be imparted training as per practical and prescribed module so that they can security employment easily. He said that newly appointed trainers should be posted in institutions after one-month basic training.
The Technical Education Minister said that officers should not complain about shortcomings only. They should also try to make better use of available resources apart from efforts to remove shortcomings.
He said that efforts are being made to remove shortcomings as far as possible. Joint Directors ITI, Skill Development Centres and vocational training institutes should undertake constant inspection of institutions and take action against the institutions not working properly.
He directed officers to make roster for inspection themselves. Shri Gupta said that department’s purchase policy and financial powers should be rationalised. The minister said that new trades/courses should be started as per industries’ demands.
He said that courses of fire engineering, petroleum engineering, chemical engineering, footwear, traffic engineering and mining engineering should also be started in ITIs and polytechnic colleges.
Additional Secretary Technical Education Shamsuddin Siddiqui, Director Skill Development DK Vyas and other officers were present on the occasion.
