FOREWORD

The Government of India has set an ambitious target of imparting skills to 30 crores people, one out of every
four Indians, by 2020 to help them secure jobs as part of the National Skills Development Policy. Industrial
Training Institutes (ITIs) play a vital role in this process especially in terms of providing skilled manpower.
Keeping this in mind, and for providing the current industry relevant skill training to Trainees, ITI syllabus
has been recently updated with the help of Mentor Councils comprising various stakeholder's viz. Industries,
Entrepreneurs, Academicians and representatives from ITIs.

The National Instructional Media Institute (NIMI), Chennai has now come up with instructional material to
suit the revised curriculum for Turner 1 Semester Trade Practical NSQF Level - 5 in Production &
th
Manufacturing Sector under Semester Pattern. The NSQF Level - 5 Trade Practical will help the trainees
to get an international equivalency standard where their skill proficiency and competency will be duly
recognized across the globe and this will also increase the scope of recognition of prior learning. NSQF
Level - 5 trainees will also get the opportunities to promote life long learning and skill development. I have
no doubt that with NSQF Level - 5 the trainers and trainees of ITIs, and all stakeholders will derive maximum
benefits from these IMPs and that NIMI's effort will go a long way in improving the quality of Vocational
training in the country.

The Executive Director & Staff of NIMI and members of Media Development Committee deserve appreciation
for their contribution in bringing out this publication.
