He informed that Central government has been spending Rs 1,783 crore on 11,964 ITIs across the country and of the total 2,274 were government-run institutes. And in Telangana State, there were about 60 government and 206 private ITIs. In order to increase employability among students, Dattatreya said government ITIs would be collaborated with Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME) for training. He hoped that 85 per cent of the students in ITI-Mallepally would get placed with the collaboration.
On the apprenticeship, the Union Minister added that ITI and polytechnic students would get three, two or one year apprentice in the industry. The government has increased stipend from Rs 2,100 to Rs 4,000 for students who are under apprenticeship, he said.
He stated that national career counselling centre would be upgraded with latest technology and government would provide Rs 290 crore for upgradation. He mentioned that students need not to do rounds at the employment centres for jobs as online information would be made available to them.
“Employment opportunities will be digitalised. For an instance, how many opportunities are available, in which field, how students can approach for jobs etc., such information will be made available on national career counselling centre. We will also make a mechanism wherein job alerts are sent through an SMS,” he said.
“There will be utmost transparency and no involvement of middlemen for a job would be entertained. SMSes of job alerts would be sent to students who register with the employment exchange,” he added.
Telangana Home, Labour and Employment Minister Naini Narasimha Reddy alleged that 1.5 acre land of ITI-Mallepally was assigned to a relative of Rosaiah, ex-chief minister of Andhra Pradesh. “Rosaiah allotted land to his relative and a hospital was constructed on it,” Naini said.
