AGARTALA: To enhance skill development of youth in line with emerging industry demands, the Tripura government has signed two MoUs with IIT Delhi and Tata IIS, an official said on Sunday.
These partnerships aim to train a total of 1,000 candidates in cutting-edge job roles in line with the demands of the emerging industry, thereby boosting local employment and reducing migration.
“The first MoU signed with IIT Delhi will train 500 candidates in five future job roles – Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Internet of Things, Blockchain and 5G technologies. These programs will be implemented in collaboration with NIELIT Agartala, Tripura Institute of Technology and other government institutes in the state,” Skill Development Director Pradeep K told PTI.
He said that funding will be provided jointly through PMKVY 4.0 and the state-supported MMDUP scheme.
Ashutosh Dutt Sharma, CEO of IHFC, the Technology Innovation Hub of IIT Delhi, was present during the signing of the MoU and expressed interest in setting up a regional center in the north-eastern state in the future.
He said the proposed center will focus on supporting startups in these new age technology domains, empowering local innovators and generating IT-related employment within the state.
“Under the second MoU, Tata IIS will train another 500 candidates in high-demand technical areas such as industrial automation safety engineering, industrial robotic systems integration, electric vehicle maintenance technicians, CNC programming and 3D printing operations,” he said. The training will be conducted in collaboration with industrial training institutes of the state, he said.
The Director of Skill Development said that these programs will be strictly placement linked.
Mayank Palan, CFO of Tata IIS, said the trainees will be linked to Tata’s extensive network of vehicle manufacturing units and industrial customers across India.
This initiative is expected to significantly increase employability and open new avenues of livelihood for the youth of the state in advanced manufacturing and automotive technologies.
The Director emphasized that digital skills will play an important role in enabling the youth to secure employment within the state.
He said that by promoting IT, ITES and startup-oriented training, the department aims to reduce the need for youth to move to other states in search of jobs.
