Draft Detailed Project Report

Technology Centre Systems Program – Draft DPR for New TC at Rohtak
Number of ITIs/Polytechnics: This reflects the availability of population seeking skill development
courses. It has also been observed that students from ITI and polytechnic form a large group of
students seeking vocational training at TCs due to lack of such facilities at their respective institutes.
Number of Major Firms: It has been observed that often larger firms take the initiatives to go for
technology upgrades and performance improvements. This leads to cascading effect and firm’s
suppliers, competitors follow up these initiatives in order to stay competitive. If a TC has larger
number of such major firms in the vicinity it will have more opportunity to do technology
collaborations and thus impact the entire ecosystem.
Leading Technology Institutes: Each TC can play a vital role to establish an Industry- Academia
partnership. It has been found that while there are researched ideas available at the academia but
they have difficulty in commercializing same. On the other hand the industries are looking for the
fresh ideas to improve upon their competitiveness in the market. Unfortunately this linkage does not
happen as industry has the need for ideas where the proof of concept is ready but unfortunately
academia does not go beyond research. TC can play a role of bridging this gap and create the platform
to link industry and academia.
State/Private TC: TC can play a vital role in mentoring and improving the performance of the state
government or private sector TCs (tool rooms). If there are such opportunities in the vicinity of the
MoMSME TC it can further increase the reach of TC to improve the competitiveness of MSMEs.
The weightages assigned to each parameter were as below:

In order to further refine the list of locations arrived using the above approach, following additional
criteria for shortlisting the industries were incorporated:
