FOOTWEAR MANUFACTURING TECHNOLOGY COURSE LAUNCHED
Rajeev Lakhara, The Managing Director, FDDI inaugurated the special
batch of footwear manufacturing technology programme for SC/ST students. This
aims to minimize the gap between the industry’s requirement of Skilled and Semi
Skilled manpower and the available manpower in the Leather Industry. This
course is the team initiative of the Footwear Design & Development
Institute (FDDI) and Tamil Nadu Adi Dravidar Housing and Development
Corporation (TAHDCO)
“FDDI is starting a full-fledged institute in its SIPCOT Irungattukottai
campus to cater to the needs of the industry in the south,” he said.Another
institute is coming up in Kolkata.
Nearly 5,000 technocrats, designers and managers would pass out of FDDI
by the year 2012-13 but even that will not be sufficient to meet the growing
demands of the leather industry, Mr. Lakhara said.
TAHDCO managing director Chandrakant B. Kamble said the corporation was
funding Rs.30, 000 per candidate for the short-term training course in the best
training institute in the country after which the SC/ST women would be able to
get a job with a salary of Rs.5,000 per month.
