19 Accreditation of courses run by private institutions and consultancy firms A number of private organizations and consultancy firms wish to meet the HR requirement of industry by providing trainings to the industry personnel and also to fresh graduates or undergraduates. These organizations have started looking for accreditation of their courses by the Government. It is required to set up this accreditation facility so that a large number of manpower trained in specific areas can be generated through private initiative. 37 Proposal To set up an accreditation facility for such institutes and courses Initially a Committee of experts may be set up by the Ministry for the purpose for examining the proposals received from various organizations. As demand increases, a structured set up is to be established 38

20 Outcome This route is expected to generate a large number of manpower trained in specific areas through private initiative Jobs, 39 New Delhi, June 2010 Training of teachers/trainers Jobs, 40 New Delhi, June 2010

21 At various levels (ITI, undergraduate, graduate) modules on solar energy/ renewable energy have been/ are being introduced In many undergraduate /post graduate colleges, the RE courses are being taught by teachers of mainstream engineering or science For courses being introduced in ITIs, teachers with proper background are not available 41 Proposal Refresher courses for university/college teachers are required to be conducted through Selected institutions in various parts of the Country The duration and courses to be formulated in accordance with UGC/AICTE norms To follow up with UGC/AICTE for necessary recognition so that participation in these courses gives due credit to the teachers for fulfilling their mandatory requirements for carrier growth National Conference on Green 6/30/

22 Proposal contd.. To write to UGC/AICTE to suggest Universities/ institutions to Introduce RE courses as Special papers/ optional papers/regular papers in graduate/undergraduate courses To participate in pilot projects that work on effective ways of teaching normally being sponsored by HRD Ministry 43 Outcome This would enable RE courses (Special papers/ optional papers/regular papers) to be the subject of main stream science and engineering in graduate/post graduate courses A large number of manpower with basic science and engineering background with knowledge of RE would be available in the country. Depending on job requirement, the candidates can be provided on-job specialized training 44

23 Project personnel in research projects 45 Personnel worked/working in various R&D projects of new and renewable energy (with background of general science and engineering) are a good source of technical manpower. Number of organizations presently working on NRSE have so far engaged such personnel very effectively. Though relatively small in number, the R&D projects would generate very specialized manpower in the field. 46

24 Specialized Centres for Solar Energy 47 Proposal Based on the availability of manpower, facility and the motivation of the management, a number of specialized centres for R&D on solar energy to be developed with core funding from the Ministry. These specialized centres will not only devote time for R&D in solar energy but will also be the ideal locations for organizing training courses, courses for trainers, tutorials, seminars and workshops. Such centres would also be given funds for providing fellowships to students for undertaking their graduate project courses in these organizations for a period of three months to one National year. Conference on Green 6/30/

25 Outcome This would result in generation of trained manpower on solar energy technologies with good basic degree of engineering or science. This would also channelize a number of personnel to take up work on solar technologies. On the assumption that there are 15 Centres this action would lead to 1000 trained manpower per year.
