Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT) Secretary, Anurag Jain has suggested the electronics industry to come together and create a skilling programme for the sector to deal with the shortage of skilled manpower. He said that Skill India initiative will support such programmes as it has huge funds.
The secretary said that the industry can create skill universities and train people to their satisfaction. He also said that the industry should factor in constraints of the government before demanding any incentives.
On free trade agreements (FTAs), Jain said that India is in the process of negotiating 7-8 FTAs and that should come out very soon in the next 1-1.5 years. However, he added that the industry should provide proper and detailed inputs to the commerce ministry as it would help in negotiating such pacts.
