Govt may make mid-career training for highway engineers mandatory: Gadkari
Mid-career training is likely to be made mandatory for highway engineers for getting promoted to higher levels, Union Minister Nitin Gadkari has said.
A proposal has been submitted by a committee that was constituted to recommend ways for transforming Indian Academy of Highway Engineers (IAHE) into a world class premier institute.
“Mid-career training should be mandatory for promotion of highway engineers to next higher levels,” the road transport minister Gadkari said on Tuesday.
The committee has also recommended exclusive training programme for engineers working with contractors and consultants in the sector.
To maintain the country’s massive road network in efficient, environment-friendly and safe manner at economical costs, Gadkari said there is a strong need for enhancement of knowledge, skill and expertise of the engineers.
