Defense offsets and Changing Patterns…

30% plough back of Forex outflow

USD 10-20 billion investment by the year 2017

25 initial pacts signed by EADS - to outsource USD 136 million business in India

USD 600 million worth business has been outsourced by Boeing to seven Indian companies

USD 20 billion worth bid is to be done by Boeing

Leading Indian companies Reliance, Tata, Mahindra, Bharat Earth Movers, Wipro, HCL & HAL are enhancing their defense offering

USD 1 billion to be invested by Reliance. Employment of 1500 people

HAL also to enhance manpower

Right talent key to propel the growth Aerospace….

Acute shortage of skilled manpower for growth of Aviation Industry in India

77 AME institutes producing around 5,000 engineers per year but most of AME graduates being absorbed as technicians

About 150+ institutes are offering aerospace engineering courses but only few institute offers quality education

“Quality Education is the bottom line for fostering Aerospace Talent”

INDUSTRY ACADEMIA

Want QUALIFIED GRADUATES from academia

Want employment for graduates

Industry and Academia alignment is Inevitable…

Several creative ways to align activities between Industry and Academia Tailored courses as per specific need of industry

Train the trainers i.e. faculty to be trained by industry

Focus on competency based skill development

Design lifelong career development plan

Training labs must be comparable to industry

Academia research centres engaged in knowledge generation and giving leads to R & D organizations for specific product development

Conclusion

While a respectable amount of independence has been attained in space technology, India’s dependence on foreign technology in Aircraft (defense and civil) remains a matter of national concern as cost of importing these technologies is prohibitive.

A close cooperation between Industry, R&D organization and Academia is to be forged. Where the academia contributes knowledge generation, the R&D organization engage in specific product developments and industry focus on mass production.
