Mohammed Younus/ Hyderabad: Education standards in engineering colleges across the State are likely to see a quantum leap with government proposing to link curriculum with the needs of the local industry thereby increasing the chances of employment and also employability.
The proposed industry cluster will be spread across the State and linked with the engineering colleges located in various districts of the State. Though the proposal has not been finalized, sources said that this would be implemented tentatively within a year or two. The industry clusters that are proposed to be set up in rural areas across the State would help provide employment and dissemination of career opportunities. The Telangana Rashtra Samithi government has been pitching for industrial clusters to attract industrialists.
Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao hinted that a special industry cluster apart from SEZs would be established and linked with engineering colleges.
He said that well qualified engineering graduates would be employed at these industries. He further said that for every four or five engineering colleges, there would be a company attached to it and students passing out from these colleges could be accommodated in the company. He said that having a large number of engineering colleges alone would not serve the purpose of quality education, but having higher standards is the need of the hour. Industry cluster includes different sectors like electrical, mechanical, electronics, IT, civil and petrochemical streams. This would help them have well-qualified and industry-ready talent ready for absorption. The Chief Minister has been reiterating on the need to have standard colleges with quality standards.
Noted educationist Kancha Illaiah said that the whole higher education system needs to be revamped and if there is any proposal to enhance the standards of engineering colleges and establishing industry cluster, then it is a good decision that needs to welcomed by one and all. Students and educationists have welcomed this proposal and called for improving the quality of practical training in these colleges.
An engineering final year student from Mancherial town of Adilabad district M Sunil Kumar said that if these plans fructify, students need not settle for petty jobs. “The industry-college tie-up will surely offer us jobs that will pay better,” he said.
