India to send 300k youth to Japan for on-job training

[Varun]

NEW DELHI: India will send three lakh youth to Japan for on-job training for 3-5 years as part of the government's skill development programme, Union minister Dharmendra Pradhan said here on Wednesday.
Japan will bear the financial cost of the skill training of Indian technical interns.
The skill development and entrepreneurship minister said the Union Cabinet has approved signing of Memorandum of Cooperation (MoC) between India and Japan on the 'Technical Intern Training Program (TITP)'.
The MoC, he said, is expected to be signed during his three-day visit to Tokyo starting October 16.
"TITP is an ambitious program to send three lakh Indian technical interns to Japan for on the job training for a period of three to five yrs," Pradhan said in a tweet.

He said the youth will be sent for training in the next three years with Japanese financial assistance.
"Each skilled youth going there will have a tenure of 3-5 years. These youth will work in the Japanese ecosystem and get employment opportunities there along with accommodation facility," the minister said.

About 50,000 of them may also get jobs in Japan, he added.
The selection of the youth will be done in a transparent manner according to Japanese requirements.

"When these youth return from Japan they will contribute to our industry as well," the minister said.
An official release said the MoC is expected to pave the way for bilateral cooperation between the two countries in the area of skill development.

Three Lakh!? We can colonize the hell out of them!

On topic it's good initiative let's hope what they learn they apply those practices once they return to India... Would be useless if after coming back they fall into the Indian system of working.

 

[Syed1]

Damn that's a big number. Will definitely benefit India.

I didn't like this part though: "About 50,000 of them may also get jobs in Japan, he added."

Defeats the purpose of this initiative.


I think we have some similar program with China, where 20k students were sent to China.

Does India use Lakh as a regular term in English? I've also seen Indian people use 'crore' here in the US leading to many raised eye brows on what it is.

All Indians use 'Lakh' and 'Crore'. Not Millions and Billions.

The comma separators between digits also reflect this.

We also use lakhs and crore but only in Urdu newspapers. English ones are always in millions and billions.

And that's so annoying 1 million rupees,argh!!

Hope they send the jobless youth from Bihar and UP there.

There are so many holes in that story that I don't know what to believe.
First, an 'internship' for 3-5 years? Sounds ridiculous. 3-5 years is more of a degree earning tenure, and not an 'internship'. What are these chaps going to do interning in Japan for 3-5 years exactly?
Second, three lakh? That is the population of Yokohama, Japan's second most populous city after Tokyo. They are going to bring in so many Indians there? Have the Japanese lost their minds?
Third, fifty thousand of them may get job opportunities. Really?

Sounds too insane to be true. Either the Japs are smoking something good, or Dharmendra Pradhan is spinning yarn.

 

[Syed1]

And that's so annoying 1 million rupees,argh!!

I don't see what's so wrong in that statement.


How is saying 1 million dollars different from 1 million ruppees?

Maybe the first few years of the internship is learning Japanese?

Because you don't use 10 Lakh dollars, do you?

*10 Lakh = 1 Million.

This )

My former room mate went to Japan when he was working with Maruti Udyog Limited. He went for 2 years and he said he most 60% of the time in learning Japanese. Those guys cannot speak a word of English. Learning Japanese is mandatory.

or perhaps they planning to send 300K workers in batches that migh take them 3-5 years to achieve the goal. You're assuming that they will send 300K workers all at once.

They may sent batch of 50K at once for period of 5-6months and next 50K when these come back.

You really should have read the OP before writing the above.

No its the comma,I cannot separate it,when i read 1 million i go 6.3 crores in my mind automatic conversion.
