DIRECT
CENTRAL ASSISTANCE SCHEME THROUGH AICTE NEW DELHI
(Human Resource Development, Ministry of Education, Govt. of India)
:
This will be allotted to Engineering Colleges
as per the projects submitted by the individual Colleges for upgradation
of laboratories.
AICTE provides financial assistance under the schemes of Modernisation and
Removal of Obsolescence (MODROBS), Thrust Area Programme in Technical Education
(TAPTEC) and Research & Development (R & D) in the field of Engineering
and Technology.
To ensure effective implementation of these
programmes, the Council has setup a Committee, namely the Board of Research
(BOR), comprising of eminent Scientists, Engineers, Academicians, Industrialists
and Technologists.
Brief objective of these schemes are given
below :
Modernisation
& Removal of Obsolescence (MODROBS)
The main objective of the programme of
Modernisation & Removal of Obsolescence is to equip Institutions/Laboratories
with modern equipment/infrastructural facilities so that they can achieve a
good performance level. In view of rapid advancements in technology & to
keep students abreast with them, some of the institutions are also provided
with the modern equipment to replace the obsolete ones. Generally, the support
provided for MODROBS proposals is limited to Rs. 15.00 lakhs in each discipline.
Thrust
Area Programme in Technical Education (TAPTEC)
This scheme mainly ensures promotion of
excellence and need based research in identified Thrust Areas for national development
in the field of Engineering & Technology. The Thrust Areas are revised periodically
and include frontier areas of research such as remote Sensing and Satellite
Image Processing, Non-traditional Machining Processes, Bio-Technology, Genetic
Engineering and Tissue Culture, Alternative sources of energy, Fuel Cells, Fly
Ash Utilisation, NVH (Noise, Vibration & Harshness), Vehicular Emissions
(Petrol & Diesel), Virtually Reality and Advanced Simulation, Optical Fibre
Technology, Cryogenics, etc.
Under this scheme, support generally not
exceeding Rs. 20.00 lakhs, is given with the view that the outcome of the project
shall lead to a bigger project to be submitted to other agencies such as DST,
etc.
Research
& Development (R & D)
This programme aims at promotion of general
research capabilities in relevant areas of Engineering and Technology including
multi-disciplinary fields taking into account the existing research capabilities
of the host Institutions.
This scheme is distinctly different from
the TAPTEC scheme in the sense that it encourages faculty members by providing
them support to strengthen their R & D activities. The R&D field need
not necessarily be a thrust area. Funding in this scheme is limited to Rs. 10.00
lakhs.
The Community Polytechnic
scheme is also functioning for manpower development, Technology
Transfer and technical
services to community.

STAFF
DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM
Staff Development cells are established at six lead centre polytechnics
in Maharashtra state. These cells have identified training need & training
facilities and design need based training programmes for the teaching faculties
and supporting staff. About 475 faculty members have been trained in various
areas like educational technology, content updating, computer, MIS, entrepreneurship,
educational management etc. with the help of TTTI Bhopal, IIT Bombay and National
Institute of Industrial Engg. Bombay.
Sufficient number of teachers are
being deputed for post graduates and post doctoral programmes, every
year. Foreign fellowship programmes are also being arranged for senior administrators
and teachers engaged in teaching high-tech courses.

INDUSTRY
INSTITUTE INTERACTION
With fast growing needs of the industries for
man-power with specialisation in specific areas it became necessary to have
proper interaction with the industry. Therefore special 28 Industry Institute
Interaction Cells have been established in Institutions. The main function of
the cell is to promote interrelationship between industry & institution
through training programmes, visiting faculty from industry, industrial visits
& practical training etc.
These cells are establishing liaison with industries
around for the benefit of students, teachers & support staff. A Memorandum
of Understanding (M.O.U.) has been signed between confederation of Indian Industry
and Directorate of Technical Education, Bombay for this purpose. Advisory committees
are formed in all technical institutes for participation from industries &
business houses.

BOARD
OF TECHNICAL EDUCATION
Diploma Courses in Engineering
and Technology were first run by the Institutions like Victoria Jubilee
Technical Institution, Mumbai; College of Engineering Pune, Cusrow Wadia Institute
of Technology, Pune etc. Initially, the examinations were conducted through
the Board of Examiners (BOE) appointed by the committee of Technical and Institutional
Training of the old Mumbai, province. After independence with increased stress
on industrial development, a separate Directorate of Technical Education was
set up by the Government in 1948 to organise and co-ordinate technical education
activities at all levels. The Diploma examinations in Engineering and Technology
were conducted through the Directorate of Technical Education up to 1963.
With increase in the
number of institutions, courses and students admitted to various diploma courses,
a need to have a separate body to conduct the examinations of these courses
was felt and thus in August 1963, a separate Board of Technical Examinations
for the state was established. Now this Board, named as Maharashtra State Board
of Technical Examination (MSBTE), has been given an autonomous status, since
1999- 2000.
