The Contribution Of Technically Trained Manpower To The Economic Growth And Development Is A Well-Accepted Factor. The Shortage Of Personnel With An Education In Industrial Training Will Have An Adverse Impact On The Jammu And Kashmir Economy, Especially In The Industrial Sector. In Order To Attain Industrial And Technological Self-Reliance, The Planners Envisaged The Development And Building Up Of Indigenous Expertise And Stock Of Technically Trained Manpower As An Inalienable Part Of The State S Development Strategy. As A Sequel To This Policy, A Tremendous Effort Was Made By The Government To Create A Massive Infrastructure To Train And Built Up Locally Groomed Expertise And Skilled Manpower. The Industrial Training Institutes (Itis) Are One Of The Major Institutions That Provide Technically Trained Manpower In The State Of Jammu And Kashmir. However, The Over Production Of Technically Trained Manpower, With Less Regard To The Absorption Capacity Of The Labour Market Will Result In Unemployment Among These Skilled Labour Force. In View Of Rapidly Changing Social, Economic, Political And Technological Scenario, The Technically Trained Manpower Requirements Also Change Which Demands For Constant Monitoring Of Manpower Requirements. Therefore, The Assessment Of The Impact Of Training Courses In The Itis And Evaluation Of The Track Record Of The Placement Of The Trainees Is Essential For The Relevant Authorities To Identify Gaps Between The Demand And Supply Of The Technically Trained Personnel As Well As To Take Suitable Action In Advance.

This report examines the human resources development and training dimensions of the gradual, but inexorable, shift towards knowledge-, skill-, and service-based economies and societies, and the stupendous growth of the information and communications technology sectors. It offers the following four conclusions: (1) all countries will feel the impact of these changes; (2) older, more mature economies with skilled workers may resist change and suffer from a mismatch between skills and needs, and so need to stress education and training and make them more widely available in order to maintain employability and productivity over a lifetime; (3) in developing countries, more workers need to be educated so that they are not forced into unemployment, and young workers are most likely to benefit from training programs undertaken in a well-established institutional context; and (4) in all countries, major structural reforms are needed to adapt training continuously to the changing nature and dynamics of labor markets and to improve access to training for everybody throughout life. The report raises points for discussion of the role of human resources development in all types of economies.--Publisher's description.
