The employment in the Electronics industry is estimated to grow phenomenally. Hence to facilitate skill development in ESDM sector focusing on students/unemployed youth at 9-10th standard onwards, ITI, Diploma, Non-engineering graduates, etc. to increase their employability to work in ‘Manufacturing’ and ‘Service support’ functions, a ‘Scheme for Financial Assistance to select States/UTs for Skill Development in Electronics System Design and Manufacturing (ESDM) sector’ was approved by DeitY in November, 2013. A total of 90,000 persons are to be supported under the scheme in the selected States in 5 levels of vocational skill development courses recognized by NIELIT/Electronic Sector Skill Council/Telecom Sector Skill Council. The total outlay of the Scheme is Rs. 113.77 crore with Grant-in-Aid of Rs. 100 crore (approx.).
We cover a wide range of products relating to verticals like solar photovoltaic, automotive electronics, medical electronics, avionics, LED etc. To address the issue of infrastructure, a scheme for Electronics Manufacturing Cluster provides 50% of the cost of upgrading infrastructure and logistics as grant in aid from Government. India has a vast pool of innovative and talented human resource. Our human resource is our strength which we offer to an investor from abroad. We produce over 200,000 engineers every year. We also propose to enhance the number of post graduates and PhDs in Electronics so that abundant manpower is available for Electronics industry to grow and flourish.
AIM:
