Apprenticeship
Training
In
pursuance of the recommendations of the Scientific Manpower Committee,
the Apprenticeship Training Scheme for Engineering Graduates and Diploma
Holders in Engineering was introduced during post- independence era by
the then Ministry of Education, Govt. of India, under a scheme which was
known as Practical Training Stipendiary Scheme (PTS Scheme). In this
scheme, a limited number of Graduates and Diploma holders in
engineering/technology were placed in the industries for practical
training on a monthly stipend. The PTS Scheme was purely on voluntary
basis and the stipends paid to the apprentices were fully borne by the
Govt. of India and the Scheme was administered directly by the Ministry
of Education. During the year 1973 the Apprentices Act was amended to
bring the training of the Graduates and Diploma holders in
Engineering/Technology within its purview.
In
1986, the Apprentices Act was further amended (Apprentices Act, 1961
{Amendments}) to bring Higher Secondary (10+2) Vocational certificate
holders under the purview of the scheme. The new category of apprentices
is known as technician (Vocational) apprentices. In addition to Graduate
and Technician apprenticeship Training Scheme, the implementation of
technician (Vocational) Apprenticeship Training Scheme as also entrusted
to Regional Boards of Apprenticeship/Practical Training under Department
of Secondary & Higher Education, Ministry of Human Resource
Development, Govt. of India, and 122 subject fields of degree & diploma
and 122 subject fields of H.S.(Vocational) have been notified
under this scheme.
