Karnataka govt set to partner with Bajaj Auto to boost ITI job skills
Bengaluru: The Karnataka government is in the final stages of forging a partnership with Bajaj Auto, one of India’s leading automotive manufacturers, to provide industry-relevant employability skills to students in ITIs across the state, officials said on Wednesday. At a meeting convened by Sharanprakash Patil, Minister for Medical Education, Skill Development, Entrepreneurship and Livelihood, with representatives from academia and industry, the proposal to implement the Bajaj Manufacturing Systems (BMS) for Industrial Training Institutes students was actively discussed, they said. A statement from the minister’s office said Patil emphasised the need for such collaborations, noting that despite Karnataka having 272 government, 192 aided, and 853 private ITIs, a large proportion of graduates still struggle to find employment.
