Rusia/Agosto de 2017/Fuente: The Pioneer

Resumen:  Amigos de todos los tiempos – India y Rusia – colaborarán en el sector de la educación. El CNIITMASH de Rusia se ha vinculado con la Corporación de Ingeniería Pesada (HEC) de Ranchi para capacitar a estudiantes de ingeniería indios en la construcción de maquinaria y otras áreas especializadas. El Centro de Ingeniería General y Capacitación Técnica, que se establecerá en el campus de HEC en Ranchi, contará con 200 estudiantes en el primer lote con la sesión que comenzará a finales de este año o principios de 2018. El acuerdo entre la India y Rusia sobre el establecimiento del primer Centro de Excelencia en la India y la modernización de las instalaciones de HEC concluyó en diciembre de 2015 entre HEC y la empresa rusa CNIITSMASH. Sin embargo, la segunda etapa de implementación comienza ahora, coincidiendo con el 70 aniversario de los lazos diplomáticos India-Rusia.

All-weather friends — India and Russia — will collaborate in the education sector. Russia’s CNIITMASH has tied up with Ranchi-based Heavy Engineering Corporation (HEC) for training Indian engineering students in machine building and other specialised areas.

The Centre for General Engineering and Technical Training, to be set up in HEC’s Ranchi campus, will have 200 students in the first batch with the session to begin by this year-end or early 2018.

The agreement between India and Russia on establishing the first Centre of Excellence in India and modernisation of HEC’s facilities had concluded in December 2015 between HEC and Russian company CNIITSMASH. However, the second stage of implementation begins now, coinciding with the 70th anniversary of India-Russia Diplomatic ties.

«CNIITMASH and HEC Limited have launched the second stage of implementation of the agreement to establish the Center for General Engineering and Technical Training in India. The students will start their education program in the end of 2017 or early in 2018,» spokesperson of Rosatom, which is making nuclear plants in India, told The Pioneer.

CNIITMASH specialists are at present preparing training materials for the new course. HEC will provide the training space in Ranchi for the full-scale functioning of the Centre. The training will take place in nine different courses including machine building and lasting from one to four months. It will be carried out by CNIITMASH specialists.

The Rosatom representative said the participation of CNIITMASH in the establishment of this centre will help in raising efficiency of production in energy and engineering sectors and to develop qualification of Indian engineers. «All courses are designed for continuity, which in the future will allow building up skills of workers of various engineering enterprises in India,» the spokesperson said.

«Russian specialists, in turn, will gain a valuable experience of teaching foreign colleagues the technological skills of Russia’s engineering school, which will reinforce its image among the international technical community,» he added.

CNIITMASH is part of Atomenergomash, a machine-building division of Rosatom. Rosatom is jointly with NPCIL building nuclear power plants in Kudankulam in Tamil Nadu.

Interestingly, the new collaboration involves HEC, the flagship symbol of Indo-Soviet friendship, set up in 1958 as Asia’s largest integrated engineering complex over 7,200 acres and dedicated to the nation by former Prime Minister Jawahar Lal Nehru on November 15, 1963. Incidentally, November 15 happens to be marked as Jharkhand’s Foundation Day.

In fact, 17 years after Jharkhand’s creation, it’s only now that the State has made moves to have its own Legislative Assembly. It was HEC’s infrastructure that Jharkhand converted for housing its seat of power and still does so. The ‘Russian Hostel’, once meant for HEC officers, now serves as MLAs’ hostel while the auditorium ‘Lenin Hall’ continues to serve as the Jharkhand Assembly. The HEC’s project building is Jharkhand’s main secretariat even as its sprawling bungalows now accommodate Jharkhand Ministers and other high-ranking officials.
