IRG Scheme

Department has launched this scheme recently. Under this scheme, the available manpower & other infrastructure will be used to generate funds. These funds will be utilized for development of institute & will be distributed among the concerned staff as per the guide lines of scheme. Institute has started a training programme for the in-service workers of the NATIONAL HYDRO POWER CORPRATION, which is running successfully. Similarly Institute is going to sign a M.O.U. with R-IT REVAT INSTITUTE OF ENGG. & TECHNOLOGY for starting short term courses in mobile repairs, p.c. repair, software& hardware. These courses will start in the first week of May. The various types of infrastructures, manpower available with the institute & guide lines for this scheme are given below

 variety of infrastructure to be used for Internal Resource Generation.

            Institute has four types of infrastructure.       

                        The above four categories of infrastructure are the broad categories. Any job work other infrastructure which is not covered in the above categories may be clubbed in these categories.

The ways/methods by which these categories of infrastructure are to be used for IRG: -

             (1)        Staff:- Institutes have well qualified staff on its pay rolls. Certainly this staff primarily are to be used for imparting Technical Education & Vocational Training to the students/trainees. The staff of the Institute is ready to offer consultancy services to the Industry/Service Sector/ Market. The type of staff can be broadly divided into three categories:

            1.         Technical: -     In this category all the Engineering/ Non Engineering staff falls. Mechanical, Electrical etc falls in to Engg. Type and. Sectt. Practice falls in the Non. Engg. type.

             2.         Ministerial/Clerical/Accountancy: In this category fall the Ministerial/Clerical staff and other staff which caters to the file work and do other supporting work/date collection and analysis in the institutes.

            3.         Supervisory/HOD's/Head of Institutes: In this category falls all the supervisory staff/Head of deptt's/ Head of Institutes who can provide consultancy for broader managerial problems of the Industry/Service Sector/ Market.

                        This all the three types of staff can be suitably engaged to provide Services/Consultancy to the Industry/ Service Sector/ Market. As in this case only the Individual/ or Group of Individuals are involved in providing services/consultancy, the user charges/ fees levied/ collected from the clients is recommended to be shared on the following pattern. (Here no other infrastructure of the Institute is used by the individuals).

            1.         Individuals/Group of Individuals providing                              70%

                        consultancy services.

            2.         Institute                                                                        20%

            3.         Govt. Treasury                                                               10%

            The rates at which the services/ consultancy are to be offered may be determined keeping in view the market rates, circumstances/ conditions of local areas and quality of services/consultancy offered.  

          (2)     Equipment, staff and buildings.

                        For generating internal resources in a big way the use of equipment and building along with the staff is inevitable, equipment and building (including workshops, labs etc, open spaces, play grounds etc. ) can be used in a variety of ways and in a variety of proportions. The exact nature of this depends upon the actual situation. However, Here clients can be industry/service sector/ market even the students/trainees and staff of the institute itself. Thus the catch word is "pay for the services rendered or facilities used".

 Use of equipment: Equipment worth crores of rupee is lying in the Institutes.          Some of the possible ways in which equipment can be used are

Photostat of notes and learning material in the library. This indoor facility to students can be charged suitably by the principal of the Institutes.

Internet facility, CD writing, Scanning, word processing services, Printing of project report, thesis, laminations and binding etc. The students can be charged suitably. Possibly after normal working hours by the principal of the institutes.

Printing of information brochures, launching of web sites with Bio-Data of students highlighting their skill set.

Hiring out the time of equipment to the industry (CNC Machines, Lathe, Milling Machine etc.)

Any other way in which equipment can be used for providing services/ during job work with the involvement of staff or without it.

In case the equipment is used for providing services/ job work without the active involvement of  staff (Technical) then the revenue generated (after meeting the recurring expenditure of electricity, water, R & M of equipment etc) is recommended to be shared as under.

i)          Institute                                                50%

ii)         Govt. Treasury                                        10%

iii)         Staff (Tech and Non Tech.,                      40 % (30% & 10%)

            Watch and Ward)

            If the technical staff or non technical staff (like use of internets, photo stats etc) is actively involved then the sharing pattern of revenue is recommended to be as under:

            i)          Institute                                           30%

            ii)         Staff                                                60%

            iii)         Govt. Treasury                                  10%

            The rates at which the services are to be offered/ job work is to be done may be determined keeping in view the market rates, circumstances/ conditions of local areas and quality of services/ job work done.

Use of building:  The campus of institutes is spread over many acres of land. the buildings and the open spaces like Halls, Hostels, Lawns, Parks can be productively used for generating revenue. these facilities are brought up to the level where these will be acceptable to the industry/service sector/ market/ trainees/ staff.

            Some of the ways are suggested as under: -

(a)        Renting out some portion of building for canteen, stationary shops, P.C.O., gift shop, or general store, fast food shop, coffee shop, cyber cafe or other revenue sharing models to be decided by the principal of the institute.

(b)        Renting out multipurpose halls during academic, public function of other institutions (possibly on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays) to be decided by the principal of the institute.

3.         Starting of new short term courses in collaboration with Private Agencies/ Service Providers.

            Due to fast changes in the technology and variety of services required by the market, the short term courses (of 1 week  to 8 weeks) have become an absolute necessity. For starting these courses the staff, equipment and building is needed. Generally building is available which can be used or offered specially after working hours or on off days. In some cases, equipment and staff can also be used. But in some cases staff trained on latest technology or software is not available and in some cases the latest equipment is also not available. So the three models which can be followed for this purpose are

i)          Institute will offer only building, the equipment, faculty and software is to be provided by the private/ other govt. organizations.

                        For the starting of these courses the user charges are recommended to be levied as per local circumstances by signing on agreement by the Head of Institute and Private Agency/ other Govt. agency. The sharing of user charges levied is recommended to be as follows: -

   i)          Institute                         35%     (out of this35 %,  10% will go to Govt.

treasury, 20% to staff, 70% to institute after meeting the recurring expenditure)

  ii)         Service provider                65%    

ii)         The building and equipment is to be provided by the Institute and faculty and software by the Service provider.

            Here also the user charges are to be levied as per the local circumstances by signing an agreement with service provider by HOI. The sharing pattern recommended is as follows:

iii)        The building, equipment and faculty are to be provided by the Institute, some technical know how and support certification etc. is to be provided by service provider.

            Here also the user charges are to be levied as per the local circumstances by signing an agreement with service provider by HOI. The sharing pattern recommended is as follows:

The rates at which the services/ consultancy are to be offered may be determined keeping in view the market rates, circumstances/ conditions of local areas and quality of services/consultancy offered.

            The institutes will run the courses for the persons holding the Certificate of the courses run by them as regular courses to avoid over lapping of effort. However where ever the facilities for the Certificate holders are not available in the respective institutes of the area, the ITI can offer short term courses to the students of higher or lower level also. Here the Institutes through Head Quarter may take the consent of the Apex bodies of the State.

            The certificates to be issued on the completion of these courses should be recognized at least in the State of Punjab and should be duly rewarded in the career growth of the prospective certificate holder by Industry/Service Sector/ Market. The State level bodies like SCVT/PSBTE&IT/PTU should approve this in principle and authorize the institutes to issue the certificates in their behalf with facsimile signature of one of the officer bearer of these bodies, which may be designated for this purpose.
