The Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) is planning
to start an aerospace university for an initial investment of Rs 100 crore,
said R K Tyagi, Chairman, HAL.
Speaking at the Second Aerospace HR Round Table, he
said, the aerospace sector lacked the much-needed skills to meet its current
and future demands.
"What we need is around 10 lakh (1 million)
skilled people, and we must get them as crores of investment would be made in
India in next few years," Tyagi said. He added: "HAL on its part is
planning to create an aerospace university with an initial investment of Rs 100
crore. This will ensure academia and industry linkage."
"Having a degree is not enough as we need
people who are in tune with the industry," he added. The round table was
held under the auspices of HAL and University of Petroleum and Energy Studies
(UPES). The theme of the conference that was attended by aerospace HR
professionals was "Human Capital - A Source of Business and Competitive
Advantage".
