Draft Detailed Project Report

Technology Centre Systems Program – Draft DPR for New TC at Rohtak
Conclusion
The proposed TC at Rohtak will focus on General Engineering. The proposed TC will aim to support
and strengthen MSMEs and help them improve competitiveness through training, production support
and advocacy. Training, Tool manufacturing and consultancy / advisory streams would be the
prominent activities to be undertaken by the TC. Besides providing training to students, the TC will
also provide support to other training institutions. It shall provide services like curriculum
development, initial setup support, certification services and training of trainers to these institutions.
TC shall also support MSME clusters in technology and engineering solutions and for improvement of
their quality systems and productivity. The TC will make a concerted effort in reaching out to MSMEs
for these works. For improvement in productivity, TC would initiate design clinics, training in lean
manufacturing and project based consultancy. The TC would further put greater emphasis to equip
itself to provide consultancy services to MSMEs in the field of product design and development, tool
design, manufacturing and innovations in process and productivity.
TC will contribute towards skilling youth to make them employable in industry by designing courses
relevant to them. The focus areas for the proposed TC are in line with objectives of the program. This
will be further be complemented by the proposed initiatives like;
► TC shall work as a key skill development centre. It shall not only provide advanced training in
manufacturing technology but also work as a key facilitator for existing ITIs and polytechnic
institutions in the catchment area. It will provide curriculum development support, training for
trainers, mentoring to new institutions, and testing and certification services to increase
competitiveness of ITIs and Polytechnic institutions.
► The new TC will take steps to form consortium with MSMEs including TCs to jointly cater to the
focus sectors. Once formed, the TC would further formalise and institutionalise the consortium.
The TC should provide handholding/ support and special machining & testing facility to members
of this consortium and prepare a road map for the next 3-5 years to ensure that these MSME can
develop the required expertise and become more competitive
► The TC will form Productivity and Quality club for cluster of engineering industry and support
them for a period of 12 months in which each cluster club of about 10 MSMEs will be assigned a
mentor (Sr. Engineer Production/ Design/ Training and above). The mentor will make periodic
visits to the MSMEs. He will plan and handhold in the execution of the plan at the MSMEs so as to
have a visible improvement at the end of 12 months period. Membership can be for a nominal fee.
Quality club and Productivity club may be formed separate and the KPI of mentors will be decided
based on the results achieved by MSME units. .
