Why do we need technical education policy and where do we stand?

In India there are 1,346 engineering colleges with intake capacity of 4,39,689 seats and 1,244 polytechnic institutions with intake capacity of 2,65416 seats.

Bihar has only 8 engineering colleges with intake capacity of 1,905 and 13 polytechnic institutions with intake capacity of 2,745 seats.

Bihar shares 8% of total population of the country but it shares only 0.6 % Engineering Colleges in no. and 0.4% in terms of intake capacity and 1 %Polytechnics institutions in no. as well as intake

VisionTo provide dynamic, demand driven and quality technical education to all sections of the society at affordable cost for ensuring technological and socio-economic development of the state.

8

Objective :

To bridge the gap between demand and supply to the extent possible. Bihar should produce approx. 40,000 engineering graduates against intake capacity of 1,905 and approx. 24,000 diploma holders against intake capacity of 2,745 in view of its share of country’s population.

9

Strategy:

Setting our house in order.Creation of enabling environment for attracting major players in the field of technical education to set up institutes in Bihar under PPP/Private sector.Empowerment of women in technical education. Establishment of Technical/Professional Institutes for minorities.To run existing as well as new startup Technical /Professional Institutes on ‘Revenue surplus’ model in Government sector.Citizens Charter.To create ‘Corpus/Endowment’ funds to meet part of the running expenditure of Government institutions.Optimum utilization of stipend/scholarship fund granted by GoI/GoB.

10

Setting our house in order: Strengthening of existing institutions

1.Faculty Development programmeINDUCTION TRAINING/SUMMER PROGRAMME (IDP)QUALITY IMPROVEMENT PROGRAMME(QIP) EMERITUS FELLOWSHIPVISITING PROFESSORSHIP

2.Meeting shortage of facultyThe regular appointment procedure of faculty will be expedited.As a short-gap arrangement, till the regular appointment, faculty will be appointed on contract basis.Through Technology Enhanced Learning, video and Web based learning resource(e-Learning) package will be developed based on the syllabi to meetacute shortage of faculty in discipline like Computer sciences, Electronics, Electrical engg. Information technology etc.

11

Setting our house in order strengthening of existing institutions

3.Meeting shortage of infrastructure & supporting staff

A status report of shortcomings of existing institution is being prepared and a action plan will be chalked out on priority basis

As a short-gap arrangement, till the regular appointment, they will be appointed on contract/adhoc basis.

Contd…

12

Setting of our house in order: Strengthening of Existing Polytechnic/Engineering Colleges under Public Private Partnership (PPP)Framework.

PPP structures will impart flexibility to focus on market needs/demands and tailor courses to enhance the supply of technical professional as required by the market.

Under this scheme the managerial efficiency and resources of the private sector would be utilized and the existing infrastructure could be used/upgraded under PPP framework on the basis of mutually worked out agreement.

The Private operator would be responsible for developing, operating, maintaining of the facilities at his expenses.

A detailed Methodology for operationalisation of the scheme would be developed in consultation with state Govt. & potential private operator.

13

Setting our house in order Strengthening of existing institutions

Developing Linkage with industry

Linkage among Engineering College/Polytechnics

To generate awareness of Science and Technology in public.

14

Creating an enabling environment

To encourage setting up technical institutions under public-private-partnership scheme and in private sector.

To provide incentive to the private promoters in technical education, research and development.

To establish Technical University for single window clearance system for maintaining a uniform policy.

Contd..

15

Creating an Enabling Environment Public-Private-Partnership

Why public-private-partnership scheme ?

Government funding (State and Central) in this sector has also grown from 33.17 crore in the first five year plan to Rs 7,716.17 crores. The central allocation alone in the 10th plan was 8,876.50 crores. As envisaged in the 11th plan to expand our Higher and Technical education and raise the quality to the highest global standard so that India can become and remain a knowledge power, it requires around 90,000.00crores In case of Bihar based on national average our requirement could be Rs7200.00crores and further to manage the short fall of the previous year we’ll need double the outlay.

Contd….

16

The objective of PPP Model in Technical Education is to strike the right balance through appropriate policy interventions, financial support, project implementation, bureaucratic support, etc on a regular basis. To that effect, the Department of Science and Technology has evolved the following PPP Model in Technical Education for the State of Bihar.
