Workforce training and skill development for higher productivity: View from the industry

Romi SinghRomi Singh, Director, Jalandhar Leather India Pvt Ltd, Jalandhar, Punjab

“We train our people ourselves; we hardly get skilled people. A machine operator is taught how to hold the leather, insert it inside the machine. They learn by observing seniors. They receive practical knowledge by going to tannery. Mostly school dropouts get recruited, we do need helpers and operators, may be LSSC can help here. I heard government is allocating Rs. 2600 crores, partly for skill development. We would be happy to take their help. Currently we have 250 people; we retain people through increments.”

“Ours is the first plant in India to manufacture 100% PU synthetic leather. We are producing 15000 meters a day. In this technology, wet and dry processes are used. At present, we have 100 people, and when full production happens, we may need 150-160 more. We train them in-house. We recruit anyone who has an urge to learn and who wants to work.”

“Ours is a specialised project, no universities or colleges can train people. We take raw people and train them in-house: graduates for CAD CAM operations, undergraduates for shop floor, and 10th pass for non-specialized and unskilled jobs. There are specialised machines for designs, data is digitised and fed into the system, and goes into the machine lathe for cutting into products. We have about 400 people. Attrition has to be controlled, from person to person, sometimes we may have to let people go.”
