The Mayor inaugurating a CASTLE Centre

 

The Indian computer market is growing at a rapid phase with computers being used in more & more applications and by more & more people as well as organisation. Consequently, the need for trained people to man and operate them has increased proportionately. Considering the fact that 50% of the total PCs sold are either self-driven or already manned, a solid requirement of computer operators and software professionals is lying straightforward. The tremendous market potential and demand for computer education is highlighted by the following facts:

 

The Indian computer market is growing at a rapid phase with computers being used in more & more applications and by more & more people as well as organisation. Consequently, the need for trained people to man and operate them has increased proportionately. Considering the fact that 50% of the total PCs sold are either self-driven or already manned, a solid requirement of computer operators and software professionals is lying straightforward. The tremendous market potential and demand for computer education is highlighted by the following facts:

  1. According to International Data Corporation (IDC), the worldwide market for technical computer training is expected to grow to $28 billion by the year 2003 from $16 billion in 1996. The fastest growth rates will be recorded in the Asia Pacific region.
     
  2. According to Computers Today annual IT industry survey, the Indian computer training industry has grown from Rs 680 Cr. to Rs. 2500 Cr. in 2003
     
  3. According to NASSCOM*, the global software services market will be worth $50 billion and will employ over a million software professionals in near future.
     
  4. According to a study by Information Technology Association of America, more than 346,000 IT jobs remained unfilled in 1999 because of lack of skilled labour.
     
  5. According to NASSCOM, India requires over 75,000 computer trained people annually by the year 2000 and the number is going to increase in the coming years. The current education capacity in India can turn out only a small part of this requirement.

Who will cater to the growing need of computer professionals ?
Government run training programs and courses are expected at the most, to supply 17% of the requirement. In addition, Government recognised organizations (Universities, Colleges) that offer computer courses are not expected to contribute more than a mere 7.5% in terms of trained manpower.
It is thus left to private organisations & institutes to fill the large gap between the DEMAND AND SUPPLY of computer trained people.Most of the computer training institutes are concentrated only in the larger cities. And nobody realises a truth; there also exists a tremendous need for training facilities in small towns and semi-urban areas.

According to LITRATIM's own estimate there is an enormous potential in these small towns, which can be explored by opening a CASTLE Learning Centre. Once again another - FIRST STEP Thanks to the MASTER MIND.
