Special Manpower Development Program for Electronic System Design and Manufacturing (ESDM) Sector.
Background & Rationale
The government of India has approved the National Policy on Electronics 2012 which aims at transforming India into a premier Electronics System Design & Manufacturing (ESDM) hub. The policy’s objective includes creating an eco-system for a globally competitive Electronic System Design and Manufacturing sector in the country to achieve a turnover of USD 400 billion by 2025 and employ 35 million (approx.) skilled manpower at various levels. To create a policy framework for creating a conducive ecosystem for promoting investment in ESDM sector in the country, various major policy decisions like setting up of semiconductor fab in the country; Electronic Manufacturing Clusters (EMCs); Preference for Domestically Manufactured Electronic Goods; Modified Special Incentive Package Scheme (MSIPS), etc. have already been initiated.
At present, the industry is characterised by high levels of import and low domestic content, however, the scenario is expected to change in the near future as the thrust is given to higher domestic value addition, indigenous manufacturing, and product development. Major Industry Verticals covered under ESDM are Strategic Electronics (Aerospace & Defence, Atomic Energy and Space), Automotive Electronics Segment, Information & Broadcasting Segment, Industrial Electronics Segment, Medical Electronics Segment.
The employment in the Electronics Industry is estimated to grow phenomenally. Hence the instant scheme would facilitate skill development in ESDM sector focussing on students/ unemployed youth of ITI, Diploma, engineering graduates, etc. to increase their employability to work in ‘Manufacturing’ and ‘Service support’ functions.
The present education/skill development system at both formal as well as the non-formal level is not vibrant enough to meet the emerging requirement of the ESDM sector. Hence, it is essential for the Government to intervene and create an enabling requirement for increasing the numbers of skill providers (both in public and private domain) to address the emerging human resource requirements for ESDM sectorThe ESDM sector needs 36 lakh people in the manufacturing and service sector of ESDM in both the public and private domain. (ESDM) Sector.
About The ESDM Program
- Elios Management Consulting is running Certificate Programs for special manpower development program for the ESDM sector (Electronics system design manufacturing).
- To skill urban and rural youth of ITIs and Polytechnics, trade of Electronics, Electrical, Instrumentation, IT, CS, and Mechatronics by giving a 300 hours training program aligned with NSQF Level 5 and 6 by IIT Delhi certified trainers to improve the employability of unemployed youth and to fulfil the requirements of proficient manpower for the industries of emerging ESDM sector.
- In contemporary times Electronics system design manufacturing, which includes the internet of things, the application of electronic chips, and a variety of electronic system designs is the need of hour.
- “Make in India” program is a focus area by Government. of India and Electronic chip manufacturing is being done in our country. Various defence corridors inclusive of DelhiAgra has attracted the attention of the big manufacturers along with service providers and MSMEs.
- The data available for employment in this sector reveals that around 36 lac manpower are required for various job roles in the emerging ESDM sector of India.
- As per Govt. of India reports, the demand for ESDM will expand in the near future. As Skill University we need to support them by way of creating skilled and proficient manpower.
- Against this background, Elios Management Consulting has introduced an ESDM shortterm training program of 300 Hours for students who are engaged in ITIs, polytechnics and engineering in the field of electronics, electrical, CS, IT, mechatronics and instrumentation.
- With strong industry linkages, there will be assured placements for all the candidates in top telecom and mobile companies.
