  PERSONNEL

5
SERVICE TO THE NATION

• Generation of employment through various
  courses/training programmes for skill
  development
• To reduce energy consumption levels in steel
  industry through various activities like In-house
  General Awareness Programmes, Energy Audits
  Consultancy services
• Promoting the international cause of GHG
  reduction by assisting the industry through
  various projects undertaken by UNDP/GEF Project,
  USAID-IRG, ECO-III etc.
• Introduction of clean working practices, emission
  reduction, designing better pollution control
  devices and environment monitoring
• Contributing towards overall technological
  human resources growth in the SMEs of steel
  sector.

NEED FOR ENERGY CONSERVATION

• Production processing of steel is one of the
  most energy intensive sector
• Any overspending of energy leads to metallurgical
  environmental deterioration
• Every unit of energy spent puts pressure on
  exchequer
• Energy saved is energy earned
• Cost of energy constitutes more than 50 of the
  total manufacturing cost of steel
• Any reduction in this component will enhance the
  margin of profitability
• The period of recession must be taken up
  positively for preparedness for the next boom
  phase
• Culture attitude of energy conservation should
  be inculcated at all the levels of work force

7
TYPES OF ENERGY

• Commonly understood industrial energy has two
  components
• Electrical Energy
• Thermal Energy
• Third important component in all sectors is
• HUMAN ENERGY
• It is the man behind the machine who actually
  delivers
• This Human Energy must be seriously considered
  for development
• It has two forms
• Potential Energy Knowledge
• Kinetic Energy - Dynamism Labour
• Both these should be judiciously developed Skill
  development programmes should focus on the
  balance.

ESTIMATED SHORTFALL OF SKILLED HR

• TARGET Steel production to reach 200 MT by
  2020.
• Primary steel producers have got enough resources
  for HRD which is lacking in SMEs.
• SMEs contribute about 35 of steel production
• Estimated CAGR could be 3 MT for this sector
• To maintain the CAGR, estimated additional annual
  requirement of manpower per MT (non-engineers) -
• Skilled (Sr.Diploma/Diploma) 100
• Semi-skilled (ITI or equiv.) 400
• Semi-skilled workforce(shopfloor) 4000
• Considering Green Field and Brown Field projects
  and retirement/death, 50 more would be needed.
• Contd..

9

• Hence revised estimated additional annual
  requirement of manpower per MT (non-engineers)
  now stands -
• Skilled (Sr.Diploma/Diploma) 150
• Semi-skilled (ITI or equiv.) 600
• Semi-skilled workforce(shopfloor) 6000
• Thus the figures of additional manpower needed
  for CAGR of 3 MT comes to -
• Skilled (Sr.Diploma/Diploma) 450
• Semi-skilled (ITI or equiv.) 1800
• Semi-skilled workforce(shopfloor) 18000
• The scope of employment generation in SMEs of
  steel sector at all levels is enormous.
• As regard to Training, Development Education,
  the figures would be much more considering both
  new induction existing employees.

10

• Maintenance consideration is integrated to any
  production process
• Additional manpower at all levels in Maintenance
  (both Electrical Mechanical) would also be
  needed
• The cumulative figure of manpower need in the
  SMEs of steel sector would increase
• A nation wide concentrated and judicious effort
  is needed to overcome this shortfall of HR.
• Short term modular courses could be designed for
  working personnel in various disciplines
• Fresh course curriculum may be designed for new
  entrants with an understanding with the industry
  for their employment
• Various recognitions may also be obtained for the
  courses

COURSES RUN BY NISST

• For working personnel -
• Modular courses of different duration (need
  based) in the areas of Ferrous Metallurgy,
  Steelmaking, Quality Control, Casting, Reheating
  Furnace, Rolling Technology, various testing
  methods, Heat Treatment, etc.
• In-house training programmes (shopfloor
  demonstrations) of shorter durations (need
  based) These are tailor-made to suit the
  requirements of individual units.
• For new entrants/fresh candidates -
• Job Oriented Certificate Course (JOCC) in
  Steelmaking Technology and Rolling Technology
• Short Term modular Certificate courses in
  Steelmaking, Rolling Technology, Quality Control,
  Reheating Furnace operation, various testing
  methods and Heat Treatment.

• Let us resolve to join hands and work together
  with sincerity and live upto potential for the
  generation of employment opportunities which is a
  grave national concern HR in all spheres and
  steel sector in particular.
• Each ones contribution would be enormous, if
  snergized.
