Armed with technical edge, poor students land a job
HYDERABAD: Driving along the busy road in Tilak
Road, Abids, one is likely to miss the building housing the HEH
Nizam & Alladin Technical Institute. But what's hard to miss is
the institute's contribution in enriching the lives of countless
poor youth of the city since its inception. From a humble beginning
in the mid-fifties , the institute today has the likes of
multinational companiesToyota and Indian giants
like Voltas making a beeline to lap up
its students for a princely sum.
HEH The Nizam & Alladin Technical Institute was
established by Khan Bahadur Ahmed Alladin who is also credited with
the establishment of companies like Hyderabad Allwyn Ltd. A pioneer
and philanthropist, Khan Bahadur made available technical education
for the poor who could not afford higher education in the state of
Hyderabad. The institute was under the aegis of Mecca Madina Wakf
Board until 1961. But after it was beset by financial troubles, its
affairs were handed over to another trust under the patronage of
both HEH Nizam's Charitable Trust and Alladin Wakf, and the
institute was renamed.
Today, the Industrial Training Institute (ITI) is approved by
the Union labour ministry. It provides National Trade Certificates
for five trades including motor mechanic, electrician, electronic
technician, machinist and A/C & refrigeration specialist. Of
the 95 students enrolled, each trade has 20 seats with machinist
having 15 seats. Students also have to undergo on-job training in
their respective fields during the last six months of their course.
Most students who are SSC pass but unable to financially afford to
progress to Intermediate turn towards this institute . And with a
monthly fee of Rs 200, it gives them training in such courses that
provide them the much-needed employment immediately after they pass
out.

In 2002 there were 1800 ITIs, providing 373 000 training places, and 2850 ITCs providing 305 000 places. c vb 400 ITIs in India, covered under the scheme – Upgradation into Centers of Excellence Its a Vocational Training Improvement Project with World Bank Assistance.
Normally a person who has passed 10 standard (HSLC) is eligible for admission to ITI. The objective of opening of ITI is provide technical manpower to industries. These persons are trained in basic skills required to do jobs of say operator or a craftsman. The course in ITI is designed in way to impart basic skill in the trade specified. The duration of course may vary from one year to three years depending upon trade opted.

A 2003 study of the ITIs conducted under the auspices of the International Labour Organisation found that a significant imbalance had developed between the needs of the Indian economy and the training activities of the ITIs, which were producing too many graduates for skills affected by industrial decline, and too few in the emerging and informal areas of the economy.
People of electrician trade can go for higher studies like diploma in engineering. There are also specialised short term courses in Advanced Training Institute (ATI) which enhances the skills of candidates. ITI qualified persons can set up their own garage, motor/generator/transformer winding shops or fabrication shops depending upon trade opted.
