Ludhiana: In first of its kind initiative, Industrial Training Institute (ITI) has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with one of city’s prominent companies, Rajnish Industries, wherein the company will train students in its factory.
The initiative will not only help in the skill development of the students, but will also help them the much needed hands-on training in a real factory.
The idea is the brainchild of Punjab’s principal secretary of technical education, Anurag Verma and managing director of Rajnish Industries, Rahul Ahuja, who also is the chairman of Confederation of Indian Industry’s Punjab chapter. The MoU was signed on Friday in the presence of Baljinder Singh, principal of ITI, Ludhiana.

Ahuja said, “Punjab government has taken many initiatives to support technical education in the state by working upon skill development of students and keeping them updated with latest technologies. CII with the help of industry members has supported the idea of Anurag Verma that industry can help students of technical centres like ITI. Verma, held a meeting with us last week and made a flexible system in which there are numerous opportunities for the students to learn and make themselves compatible with the current industry needs. In this way, the students will improve their skills on latest machinery and there will be more employment opportunities for them. Fortunately, I have been selected to lead this initiative. According to the MoU signed with the ITI, the students will be given two options for enhancing their skills. In the first option, the students will be directly coming to the industry for industrial training for two years and ITI trainer will come to the industry premises for an hour daily for theory. In the second option, the students will be completing the theory part for a year in the ITI and then come to industry for practical for a year after that.”
Ahuja also added, “We have signed MoU for three trades machinist, turner and fitter for complete batch in which students will be coming to our factory for two years and ITI trainer will be visiting our premises for theoretical training. CII plans to take this initiative to other cities of Punjab and it will be a very big milestone in skilling the youth and providing them training on updated new technology.
