SKILL DEVELOPMENT CENTER

Introduction

Most of us are generally aware of the requirement of training workmen and artisan as a means of better performance and higher profits. Further, in the context of continuous process of liberalization together with even faster pace of globalization, there is a need for up gradation of skills and increase of skills to increase in productivity of workers to stand against the ferocity of global competitiveness. It is therefore most opportune time to impart ‘hands down’ technical and vocational training to our workers in order to be skilled.

It is important that the training should be relevant to the modern fast changing scenario of the construction industry and programs designed to be competency based. ”Competency combines skill, knowledge and attitude to perform specified job with proficiency”.

Needless to mention that that there is no Skill Development Center of repute in the North and North-Western part of India resulting not only in low productivity but also in un employment of the rural masses

With the above backdrop, Skill Development Institute is being established by S Ranbir Singh Foundation. S Ranbir Singh was an eminent senior government servant who served as Chief Secretary PEPSU,an erstwhile stae in India and later as Chairman Punjab Public Service Commission. He was instrumental in starting educational schools in state of Punjab including Thapar Institute of Engineering & Technology at Patiala, India
