The Concept
In light of the liberal economic and industrial policy recently adopted by the Govt. of India, the industrial scenario is fast changing. Industries re compelled to export a part of their production and complete with multinationals for the intemal market. The emphasis has shifled to quality products and well trained manpower to produce such products. There has been a greater need for industries to depend on technical institutions for R&D and for supply of highly qualified and skilled manpower. Retraining of the work force has become major activity for all industries. There is, thus a good opportunity for institute to interact with industries for mutual benefits.
The Industry-Institute Interaction would accrue mutual benefits when a symbiotic relationship is developed between the two systems. The ultimate aim of this relationship will be the creation of confidence in industry by the Institute which would result industries involving voluntarily the Institute at various stages of its development.
The development of such symbiotic relationship requires, firstly, careful understanding of the industry needs such as relevant R&D, cost ‘effectiveness, time bound programmes, technology upgradation etc. by the Institute and, in tum, understanding the capabilities and limitations of the institute by the Industry. Recognising the above, following thrust areas have been identified which require immediate attention :
- Reorientation of curriculum
- Exchange of Experts between the Institute and Industry
- Involvement of Teaching Staff in Industry
- Institute to gain Confidence of Industry
- Institute as a Consultant in R&D
- Technological Database
- Continuing Education Programme
- Establishment of Linkages
- Institute’s Self-Reliance in Finances
A typical mode of interaction between Institute, industry and other organizations is presented in Figure is being followed to accomplish the desired goal of economic development of our country on sustainable basis.
