Currently, the industry employs a workforce of 1.52 lakh people of which 44 per cent are skilled while unskilled segment account for the remaining 56 per cent.” “Due to a gap in demand and supply in the availability of the engineers, technical incompetency of the beginner level engineers, lack of soft-skills , high attrition rate and rise of new technologies, the industry will witness an avoidable, opportunity loss. This can be turned into an advantage, if Small Medium Enterprises can employ progressive techniques of training in association with government initiatives,” added Mr Sharma.
