siliconindia | | OCTOBER 20194One of my acquaintances holds a bachelor's degree from a decent engineering college in North India. Specialized in electronics and telecommunication and hoping to land a job in an MNC, the dreams of my friend were shattered when six-months even after graduating from college he was still searching for a job in his area of expertise. With lakhs of engineers graduating per year, this is the story of one such person who excels in all the subjects, knows codes and computes and still fails to bag a job. Prime Minister Narendra Modi's `Skill India' initiative has the grand vision of deploying more than 40 crore skilled workers in the country by 2022. While education and skill development remain high-priority focal points for the government, the fact remains that there is still a massive gap between the skills that employers need in today's digital age and the skills that employees enter the market with. Upskilling is not just an option today but it is the need of the hour for engineers whether electrical or mechanical. Covering liquid penetrant testing to computed radiography training, and magnetic particle testing to industrial radiography safety, NDT Training courses are now becoming a unique add-on to the resume of most engineers. A testing and analysis technique used by industry to evaluate the properties of a material, component, structure or system for characteristic differences or welding defects and discontinuities without causing damage to the original part, NDT is also known as non-destructive examination (NDE), nondestructive inspection (NDI) and non-destructive evaluation (NDE).In this edition of siliconindia magazine we have featured a list of `Top 10 Most Promising NDT Training Institutes - 2019'. A carefully curated list of budding NDT Institutes in India reflects the names of firms offering their top-notch services in this domain. On the cover, we have featured All India Society for Electronics & Computer Technology (AISECT) - India's leading Social Enterprise that is working in the areas of Skill Development, Higher Education, Financial Inclusion, e-Governance and other ICT-based services to bring about an inclusive change in the semi-urban and rural areas of the country. Hope this issue helps you in your future endeavor and we achieve our mission. Your ideas are always welcome!
