India to Establish First Precision Manufacturing Institute with New Skilling Framework
India will establish its first Precision Manufacturing Institute, announced Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw during Semicon 26. The institute aims to develop a five-tier skilling framework to train high school graduates to levels comparable to B.Tech engineers, supporting sectors like mobile handsets, aerospace, defence, and semiconductors. Curriculum reforms under Semicon 2.0 will emphasize system design over chip design. The target to train 100,000 technicians under the Indian Semiconductor Mission 2.0 may be increased to meet industry demand.
