CHAPTER-I

1. INTRODUCTION

Tool Room (TR) is the industrial set-up where the specialized tools, dies,
moulds, jigs, fixtures are designed and manufactured. These tools are used
for mass production. Many companies have their own captive TR or they
assign the work to the professionally managed TRs.
The workflow starts in the Tool Room once it receives the Product Model or
the Product Design / Drawing. Before accepting the model, the TR
professionals check the manufacturing feasibility of the Tool for the product.

2. OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY

1) Whether the objectives for which the Tool Room and Training Centre
(TRTC) at Wazirpur and its Sub-Centre at Okhla have been setup by
Delhi Govt., are being achieved.

2) Financial viability of the scheme.

3) Suggestion for improvement of the scheme.

3. METHODOLOGY

For understanding various issues relating to the scheme, necessary

information has been collected from the TRTC and also personnel visits /
interactions have been made by the officers / staff of the Evaluation Unit of
the Planning Department with the concerned officer/staff/ students of TRTC at
Wazirpur and its Sub-Centre, at Okhla.

The Pr. Secretary (Finance / Planning), Delhi Govt. also visited the TRTC at
Wazirpur and its Sub-Centre at Okhla on 16.09.2006 with the Officers of
Planning and Industries Deptts. of Delhi Govt.

4. TOOL ROOM AND TRAINING CENTRE (TRTC), WAZIRPUR
Tool Room & Training Centre (TRTC) at Wazirpur Industrial Area, Delhi was
established in the year 1976 under a technical and economic agreement
entered into between the Govt of India and the Govt of Denmark. This Centre
was set up with the primary objective of contributing towards the
development of Small Scale Industries (SSI) in and around Delhi through
supply of skilled manpower and sophisticated tools (viz Moulds, Press Tools,
Gigs, Fixtures, Gauges etc.).

The large majority of the small-scale industries in Delhi are traditional and low
tech in nature. In view of the constraints of availability of the land, water,
power and the need to reduce pollution, congestion etc., there is a general
consensus in favour of allowing only sophisticated and hi-tech industries in
Delhi which put minimum strain on the scarce resources. At the same time,
industries should be non polluting and less dependant on unskilled manpower,
thus arresting the rate of migration of unskilled labour. The TRTC has,
therefore, emerged a pioneer in its efforts to create an indigenous technical
base suitable to the needs of the industry, particularly in case of Small Scale
Industries (SSI).

The TRTC is a Society registered under Societies Registration Act, 1860 and is
functioning under the administrative control of Department of Industries,
Govt. of NCT of Delhi. The Secretary–cum-Commissioner (Industries), Govt. of
NCT of Delhi is the Ex-officio Chairman of TRTC.

6.4 MANUFACTURING OF TOOLS BY TRTC

The Tool Room provides comprehensive and integrated facilities of designing,

process planning, tool manufacturing, tool development & testing and
production of components. Tooling is vital to manufacturing industry. All
industry small, medium and large, whether they are foundry, forging, plastic,
metal cutting, sheet metal forming etc need tools and that too before the start
of actual production activity. Tools are basic production aids, used for the

8
production of parts and for increasing quality and productivity. Many projects
are delayed for non-availability of tools in time. Therefore, the lead-time in
tool making is a vital factor in getting a product in time in the market.

The TRTC is giving 12.5% discount to small-scale industries for completed

tools since 1983-84. Even the Finance Ministry Govt of India waived off the
excise duty for all goods manufactured by TRTC, Delhi. This has helped the
small scale industries in bringing down their manufacturing cost of
components.

6.5 COMPLIANCE OF WORK/JOB ORDERS BY TRTC

The position of compliance of work order and job order by TRTC in time
during 2004-05 and 2005-06 is as follows:
Table – 4
S. Year Work Order Job Order
No. No. of No. of No. of No. of No. of No. of
orders orders orders not orders orders orders not
received completed completed received completed completed
in time in time in time in time
1 2004-05 44 6 38 48 21 27
(13.6%) (86.4%) (43.7%) (56.3%)
2 2005-06 26 0 26 36 13 23
(0%) (100%) (36.1%) (63.9%

Here it is mentioned that there is slight difference between work order and job
order. In case of the former, the TRTC itself has to arrange for the raw-
materials and finalize the product as per the demand of the consumer/party,
while in case of the later, the TRTC is responsible only for the finalization of
the product according to the demand, because the raw materials are provided
by the party its-self.

It may be seen from the above table that the TRTC’s performance for
completion of work order within the given time limit was 13.6% in 2004-05
and it could not complete any work order in time during 2005-06. Further, it
could complete 43.7% of job order in 2004-05 and 36.1% of job orders in
2005-06, in time. Thus, its performance for compliance of work orders in time

9
was very poor which was mainly due to procedural delay in procurement of
raw materials required for such work. In view of dismal performance in
compliance of work / job orders, it is loosing the customers confidence and
hence, sustaining the revenue loss. Much improvement is, therefore,
necessary in this sector which calls for better management, creation of work
culture among the staff, replacement / repairment of old machines, proper
publicity about the services being provided by it, building confidence among
the present and prospective users of its services etc.

From the analysis of Income & Expenditure pattern, it reveals that the main
component of expenditure of TRTC and its Sub-Centre is “Staff Salary” which
increased from Rs.254.18 lakhs in 2002-03 to Rs.321.90 lakhs in 2005-06
(RE). On the other hand their income from training, invoicing and other
sources was only Rs.115.88 lakhs in 2002-03 which reduced to Rs.105.79 lakh
in 2003-04 and remained almost at the same level of Rs.106.25 lakh in 2004-
05 and thereafter slightly increased to Rs.126.90 lakh in 2005-06 (RE).
Obviously, the Centre is not able to meet out even the expenditure on staff
salary without Grant-in-aid from the Govt.

13
11. HIGH-TECH VOCATIONAL TRAINING CENTRE (HTVTC)

The High Tech Vocational Training Centre (H.T.V.T.C.) was setup in 1989 by
the Government of India in collaboration with the Govt. of Italy within the
ambit of the Indo-Italian Technical Co-operation agreement. The HTVTC is
functioning as a society under the Societies Registration Act-1860 at Okhla
Industrial Area, Phase-II, Delhi. The HTVTC covers an area of about 5.5 acres.
The management of the society is vested in the Governing Council with
Secretary & Commissioner of Industries as its Chairman. The General Manger
is looking after the day to day functioning of the Centre.

The Centre was established with the basic twin objectives of (i) Training /
consultancy in High-Tech areas and (ii) Production of sophisticated
engineering items on CNC machine. Its main aim has been development of
small and medium scale industries in and around Delhi through supply of
skilled manpower in diverse areas such as CNC machine, CAD/CAM, PLCs,
Micro-process system, Computer based measurement and control etc. High
and sophisticated technology was transferred by the Italy Govt. to the Govt. of
India which aims at improving technologies in the Machine Tools Sector,
besides providing facilities for training of manpower to respond to the ever
changing needs of Indian Industry and favouring to keep pace with rapid
technological advancement in the Hi-Tech Sector.

The present financial status of the Centre is that it is not financially self
sustainable and meeting its working deficit with the recurring grant from the
Delhi Govt.

11.1 TRAINING COURSES OF HTVTC

The following Training courses are being conducted in HTVTC.
1) Programmable Logic Controllers (2 Modules of One week each)
2) Programmable Logic Controllers (2 Modules of Two week each)
3) Microprocessor and its application
4) Motor Drives and Controls
14
5) Electrical Control Circuits
6) Programming & Operation of CNC Machine Tools (With introduction of
CAD/CAM- Unigraphics & CMM)

7) Automation with Pneumatics & Hydraulics

8) CAD/CAM (Unigraphics with practical training of CAM on CNC Machines
and introduction to CMM & Surface scanning Renishaw with Tracecut
package)

9) Reverse Engineering using Computer controlled 3-D Co-ordinate

Measuring Techniques
10) Introduction to ISO Programming & Operation of CNC Machines.

12. STRATEGIC ALLIANCE OF TRTC AND HTVTC

During the field visit of TRTC at Wazirpur and its Sub-Centre at Okhla
Industrial Area, Ph-II, made by Pr. Secretary (Finance/Planning) with the
Officers from Planning Department and Industries Department, Delhi Govt. on
16.09.2006 it was observed that there is much similarity in the services being
rendered by the TRTC and the HTVTC. It was also observed that they come
under the administrative control of Commissioner (Industries). Thus, the
networking of the facilities and other resources available in these centres may
enable to cater to a wide industrial market in and around Delhi. Further, the
facilities like CAD/CAM, CMM coping machine etc. could also be conveniently
linked via a wide area network and the training programmes can be designed
for complementing the faculty skills available at these two centres.

Accordingly, its was felt that the TRTC and the HTVTC may be merged
together to create a single society namely the Delhi Institute of Tool
Engineering Society (DITES). Within this intergrated Unit, the HTVTC may act
as a distinct Centre. This will simplify the work of Commissioner (Industries)
and his office by avoiding the need for separate budgeting, releasing of grant,
conducting Governing Council Meetings, reviewing the annual statement of
accounts / reports etc. which are now being done individually in view of the
separate identity of these two organizations. The Delhi Institute of Tool

15
Engineering Society (DITES) may also facilitate a better vision for future and
bring about greater involvement of industries in the development of the
Society to make it self-sustainable in the near future.

It was also felt that the Governing Council of the newly constituted society
should include members from PHD Chamber of Commerce, CII, FICCI, Small
Scale Industries Association etc, besides the Government representatives and
such society should get registered under the Societies Registration Act and
start functioning with effect from 1st April, 2007.

CHAPTER-II

13. FINDINGS / OBSERVATIONS

Following are the findings / observations on the basis of field visits /

interactions with the staff / trainees of the TRTC at Wazirpur, its Sub-Centre
at Okhla and the HTVTC at Okhla.

A. Tool Room Training Centre (TRTC), Wazirpur

1. The Tool Room Training Centre (TRTC) is situated in the Wazirpur
Industrial Area Covering an area of approximately 3.5 Acres.
Manufacturing of tools and training of manpower are the main activities
of this Centre.

2. A majority of the machines in TRTC are very old which require heavy
maintenance causing high overheads.

3. The TRTC generally is not able to comply with the time schedule of
work order. Only 13.6% of work orders were completed by it in time
during 2004-05. It could not complete any work order in time during
2005-06. One of the main reason for the delay in compliance of work
order is the procedural delay in procuring raw materials required for
production of desired tools/ dies.

4. Since in case of job order the raw materials are supplied by the party,
the performance of the Centre in compliance of job order is
comparatively better. It could complete 43.7% and 36.1% of job orders
in time during 2004-05 and 2005-06 respectively.

5. In this world of competition, it is not possible for the clients to wait for
a very long period on TRTC to supply the requisite tools. As a result,
some of the clients have ceased to approach the TRTC for development
of tools, dies, moulds, jigs, fixtures, press tools etc.
17
6. The TRTC does not have the ISO-9001 certification in respect of its
products which can create customers confidence.

7. The TRTC’s Diploma Course in Tool & Die Making is recognized by the
Board of Training & Technical Education, Govt. of NCT Delhi, while its
P.G. Course in Tool Design & Manufacturing is recognized by the
Ministry of Human Resource Development, Govt. of India. The rest of
the training courses are recognized by the TRTC itself.

8. The curriculum for short term / tailor made courses are designed by the
TRTC itself as per demand / requirement in the market/industry.

9. At present, TRTC has no hostel of its own. However, it makes

arrangement for hostel on rent for those students of Post Graduate
Course in Tool Design and Manufacturing who come from outside Delhi.
The rent for the hostel accommodation is shared by the TRTC and the
incumbent on 50:50 basis.

10. As per the training faculty of TRTC, the numbers of trainees are more
than the infrastructure available in the Centre.

11. Delhi Govt. provided special non-recurring grant of Rs. 4 crore during
2005-06 to TRTC, out of which an account of about 3.5 crore is being
spent by it for up-gradation of training facilities / purchase of Lathe
machine/ Milling machine / Grinder etc.

12. The TRTC is charging for the long term and short term courses
conducted by it except in case of trainees under Prime Minister’s Rojgar
Yojna (PMRY) and summer training attended by the students from
Technical Institutes of Delhi Govt.

18
13. There are 100% placement opportunities to the passed
outs/trainees under the long term / regular courses except in case of
one year certificate course in Computer Programming.

14. Presently, the financial accounts of TRTC and its Sub-Centre are
being maintained jointly. The main sources of income of the TRTC and
its Sub-Centre are fees from training and invoicing. Their total income
could not even meet 50% of their staff salary during 2002-03 to
2005-06.

15. The deficit of these Centres increased from Rs.204.22 lakh in 2002-03
to Rs. 248.00 lakh in 2005-06. Almost whole of the deficit is being met
by Delhi Govt. by providing recurring grant-in-aid.

16. At present more than 50% of the sanctioned posts are left vacant in
TRTC and its Sub-Centre.

17. At present, there is no effective system to give publicity to the services

provided by TRTC and its Sub-Centre.

18. Presently an executive committee of three members is running the

TRTC. There is no General Manager (GM) in place in the Centre. This
has led to erosion in sense of responsibility and accountability among
the employees at large and hence affected the discipline of work in the
Centre.

19. According to the provisions, the Governing Council (GC) of TRTC should
meet at least once in every six months. The 64th meeting of GC was
held on 26.03.2003 followed by the 65th meeting on 03.09.2003, 66th
meeting on 29.04.2004 and 67th meeting on 03.07.2006. The duration
between the last two meeting of GC was more than 2 years

20. It has been observed that basic facility of drinking water was not
appropriate. There was lack of cleanness of toilets.
19
21. The road in front of one of the main entrance of TRTC was found to be
incomplete which as a result caused water logging and inconvenience
for public passage.

22. One scrapped vehicle of TRTC was found lying in the premises of TRTC
which should have been disposed of earlier to save reduction in its
value.

B. Sub-Centre of TRTC, Okhla

23. A Sub-Centre of TRTC is functioning in the building of Hi-Tech

Vocational Training Centre (HTVTC) at Okhla. This Sub-Centre was
established in the year 2000 as a centre of excellence in the field of
Computer Aided Design (CAD)/Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM) /
Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) related to Tool Engineering.

24. The Sub-Centre is equipped with latest hardware and software to

maintain its status as the front-runner of CAD/CAM/CAE technology.

25. The courses being conducted at the Sub-Centre are of short-term in

nature and the recognizing authority for these courses is the TRTC.

26. The Sub-Centre is running a number of short-term courses, out of

these the following are popular:
a. Advanced Diploma in Computer Aided Tool Engineering (CATE)
(480 hours - duration) (Fee Rs.48,000/-).

27. Presently the PG Course in Tool Designing & Manufacturing is being

conducted in the Sub-Centre of TRTC from August, 2006.The students
under this course also attend the TRTC, Wazirpur for practical classes.

28. The Sub-Centre also provides free consultancy to the students /

trainees who want to establish their own units.

C. Hi-Tech Vocational Training Centre (HTVTC)

29. The Hi-Tech Vocational Training Centre (HTVTC) at Okhla Industrial

Area, Phase-II was set up by the Govt. of National Capital Territory of
Delhi in Co-operation with the Govt. of Italy in December, 1993 with
the basic objectives of (i) Training / consultancy in hi-tech areas and
(ii) Production of sophisticated engineering items on CNC machine.

30. It is functioning as a society under Societies Registration Act, 1860. The

management of the society vests in the Governing Council with
Secretary-Cum-Commissioner (Industries) as its Chairman.

31. Training is the core activity of HTVTC. It has been running in loses
since its inception.

32. Both the Sub-Centre of TRTC and HTVTC are running in the same
building at Okhla. The TRTC and HTVTC are functioning under the
administrative control of Industries Department of Delhi Govt. There is
much similarity in the nature of activities performed by these Centres.

21
33. However, since both the Centres are presently functioning as individual
societies, they are having separate budgeting and release of grant from
the Govt., separate reporting and review of accounts, separate
Governing Council’s Meetings etc. Besides, the expertise, facilities,
infrastructure etc. available in these two Centres are not being
compensated.

22
CHAPTER-III

14. RECOMMENDATIONS

1. The purpose of the TRTC, its Sub-Centre and the HTVTC is to cater to the
need of the industries which require trained manpower, sophisticated tools /
dies, etc. to cope with the highly competitive business environment. However,
present financial performance of both the Centres is not encouraging since
they are running in heavy losses and hence, depend for grant-in-aid from the
Govt. to meet their deficits. Thus, a restructuring of these entities to make
them financially viable is urgently necessary.

2. Towards this direction, the first step may be to constitute a single society
namely ‘Delhi Institute of Tool Engineering Society (DITES)’ to manage HTVTC
and TRTC. This integrated society will reduce the administrative and
accounting work load because presently these units are registered as two
separate societies under the Societies Registration Act.

3. With the proposed integrated society, the activities of HTVTC will continue as
a distinct Centre under DITES. However, since the TRTC and the HTVTC will
come under the same umbrella, networking of the facilities and other
resources available in these two Units would enable them to cater to a wide
industrial market in and round Delhi. The training programmes can also be
designed for compensating the faculty skills available at these Centres.

4. The Tool Production Centre of TRTC will continue to cater to the tool/die etc.
requirements of the small and medium scale Industries. This Centre will also
be used as practical work shop for the trainees in DITES.

5. The Governing Council of DITES should include members from PHD Chamber
of Commerce, CII, FICCI, Small Scale Industries Association etc, besides the
Government representatives. The Governing Council should meet at regular
intervals to review the physical/financial performance of the newly constituted
Society and to take necessary steps for its improvement.

23
6. The DITES may facilitate a better vision for future and bring about greater
involvement of industries in the development of the Society to make it self-
sustainable in the near future. In this regard Industry Department has to take
necessary steps so that this integrated unit under the Societies Act may start
functioning w.e.f. 1st April, 2007.

7. The course contents of various training programmes under DITES should be

reviewed and updated to meet the requirement as per latest technology
available and demand in the market/industries. For this purpose a Advisory
Committee may be constituted comprising faculty members from DITES,
representatives from the Administrative Department, Delhi College of
Engineering, Netaji Subhash Institute of Technology (NSIT), Polytechnics and
ITIs of Delhi Govt. and also representatives from various Industrial Houses.
This Committee should meet at least once in a year.

8. The DITES should make wide publicity of the services to be provided by it,
which will help in augmenting its revenue.

9. At the current juncture when TRTC is loosing its clients, it may be helpful to it
to opt for ISO-9001 certification to regain the customers confidence. Further,
the TRTC / DITES will have to ensure timely delivery of goods, maintain
quality, charge reasonable costs and establish good behaviour / relationship
with the customers to put it back to the running track as a viable unit.

10. The DITES may introduce degree courses in some specialized trades and also
impart training in the latest technology.

11. The DITES should charge for full recovery of the cost from the training
candidates sponsored by the industries (Govt. & Private). However, individual
courses organized by the DITES itself may have some subsidy element.

12. There are 2 sanctioned posts each for General Manager (GM) (Rs.16400-
20000) and Deputy General Manager (DGM) (Rs.14300-18300) in TRTC which
are presently vacant. Only 1 post each for GM and DGM should be filled up

24
and the remaining 1 vacant post for GM and 1 vacant post for DGM along with
the remaining 140 vacant posts as mentioned in the Table No.6 of the
Evaluation Report should be abolished. Further, only the minimum essential
posts should exist which will help in reducing the deficit of TRTC. Moreover,
before creation of posts, concurrence of Finance Department may be taken by
the Administrative Department.

13. Every year, the DITES should prepare an Annual Report.

14. Some of the other steps that may be taken are as follows:

(i) Proper maintenance of the TRTC building should be ensured to create a

clean, safe and hygienic environment for the trainees/staff etc. It may
be ensured that there should be no leakage of rain water from roof top
which may damage the costly equipments and machinery.

(ii) Necessary steps should be taken to short out the drinking water
problem being faced by the staff/trainees in the TRTC.

(iii) The matter may be taken up with MCD for early completion of the
roadwork in front of one of the main entrance of TRTC.

(iv) It should be ensured that the generators in TRTC should remain

functional so that the failure in electricity supply may not hamper the
production and practical training in the TRTC.

(v) Two condemned vehicles one lying in the premises of TRTC, Wazirpur
and the other lying in the premises of HTVTC should be disposed of
urgently, preferably by the process of inviting sealed quotations, to get
better value.
