The country is well endowed with many metallic and non-metallic mineral resources.  India is a leading player in respect of many non fuel minerals including, iron ore, bauxite, dolomite, lime stone and mica.  Mining sector (non-fuel) currently accounts for approx 0.5% of GDP.  For accelerated economic growth on sustainable basis, this sector has to grow at a much faster pace to secure   a higher percentage in the GDP.
 
Scientific, sustainable and transparent mining practices require well trained manpower.  Skill development not only enhances productivity and safety at work place, but more importantly, it prepares the manpower to adapt to the new state of art technologies. Currently this sector employs around 0.2 Million workforce which is estimated to grow to 0.3 Million in next 10 years.

Majorly ITI Courses or Apprenticeship or On Job training develops the requisite skills in such sector as it requires a hand on experience and physical skills which can be developed while practically working on it rather than theoretically learning in class. No class room training can replace a trained craftsman at work in site.

गांधी जी के सपनों का भारत गरीबी, निरक्षरता और अस्‍पृश्‍यता की बुराइयों से सर्वथा मुक्‍त है। उसमें जाति, वर्ग, अथवा संप्रदाय का भेदभाव नहीं है। स्‍त्री-पुरुषों में समानता है। हरेक को अपनी आवाज उठाने का हक है। देश के विकास में सभी का योगदान है, तो आजादी और समृद्ध‍ि का लाभ भी सबको प्राप्‍त है। आत्‍मानुशासित स्‍वराज्‍य का जो सपना गांधी जी ने देखा वह आज तो क्‍या, सदियों तक प्रासंगिक बना रहेगा। इस पुस्‍तक में गांधी जी ने अपने बुनियादी उसूलों के साथ यह भी स्‍पष्‍ट किया है कि वे देश के भावी राजनीतिक और

The swath Bharat is a great initiative. Another major cleanup required us, traffic sense. Whoever violates traffic rules should be made to work as a traffic signalman fir 1/2/3/4 hours based on the type of traffic offence done by that person.

Skill in mining sector can be best developed when classroom teaching is combined with field training (each having 50% weightage) . Such trainees should also be paid stipend for such field training days. Trainees should also be made accountable for the responsibilities assigned to them during training period.

Dear Sir, Both are important. Each complement each other. Mining is a special field and is quite divorced from the normal process engineering based industry. 2+2 is not always four in this industry. Sometimes it can be 5 and sometimes it can be three as well. The classrom environment provides you the knowledge base, the basic learnings required to develop understanding of the industry; the regulations, the hazards involved and above all the latest happenings in the global environment. There are many institutes in India which are doing a commendable job in this area, the most prominent being the Indian School of Mines (ISM) in Dhanbad. With the background knowledge of the subject, suboriented training apprenticeship shall become very effective. ISM normally offers the Degree Program at the undergraduate and the graduate level + plus a few executive development programs. What it needs to develop and diversify into is offering short term certificate programs, trainings to people interested. The subjects may vary from the technical to economics to developing entreprenuerial abilities. Not only will the people taking benefit, ISM itself will stands to benefit from the increased revenue it may generate.

By brother is an aspiring engineer. A private company is funding him for his project, but he had to do a lot of efforts for that funding and had to compromise for his innovations. Govt don`t have such system where the students are sponsored by government for the nation building projects. Talents need platform which invents innovations.

Without holding the steering one cannot drive a car. If we wish to drive , we have to be on the road with traffic. If we wish to drive effectively we have to known with technical details of driving. Similarly, when it comes to mining sector again after gaining the technical know how of mining one has to get on the ground. When we are on the battle field then we understand how to save our self and give productive output. So, ultimately practicals are bit different from theoretical.

Sir there are many CBSE school charging very very heavy school fees for small childerns study in Nursery, Junior KG and Senior KG. This has been going on in the name of extra curricular activity. There has to be some regulation/cap on fee charge by many schools whether they are CBSE board or state level board. How a common man doing service in a private company afford to educate their child in such high school fee environment.
