National-level subject matter experts should be given a place in the committee. A Cabinet note should be prepared for the approval of the government on facilities and construction activities in the newly sanctioned government polytechnics in Maidukuru, Bethamcherla and Guntakal.
Suresh Kumar advised the officials to prepare a special training system for the polytechnic faculty. He said that only when the teachers have full understanding of the modern methods used by the industries will it reach the students. He said that the training policy needed to be formulated comprehensively including how many people should be trained every year and where the training should be provided.
