Importance of Kolhapur • It Is one of the oldest cities in the country situated in the extreme southern part of Maharashtra state. • Great commercial, religious and educational centre. • There are 3 MIDC Industrial areas and 7 Cooperative industrial areas in Kolhapur. Majority of them are small and medium scale enterprises. • Significant contribution to country’s GDP, manufacturing output, exports and employment generation • More than 90% of the industries in Kolhapur District are manufacturing industries. These manufacturing industries include mainly foundries, and textiles. Sugar and diary industries run under cooperative sector. • The availability of skilled, qualified and experienced human resource was found to be very scarce. • Less awareness was found in employees regarding a Human Resource Department and its scientifically written policies and practices as a system Govt.

Scenario of Indian Metal Industry Ø Majority of the metal industry has been shifted to southern hemisphere of the globe. Presently, China and India are the two important Asian countries who are playing important role. Ø India is one of the top 5 countries in the production of steel. Ø India stands 2 nd in the world for production of castings. Ø Stands 2 nd in the world for production of forgings. ØStrong and growing domestic market. Govt. Poly. /Comm Colg/MHRD

Human Resource in Metallurgical Industry • Maharashtra is major state housing all types of Metallurgical Industries starting from Mining, Metal Processing to the secondary alloy making. • Most of the people employed in the Metallurgical industries of Maharashtra such as Foundries, Forging shops, Steel plants are not formally qualified in Metallurgy. • Educational institutes are not offering Programmes in Metallurgical Engineering according to the requirement in the job market, hence there is perennial shortage of Metallurgists in India. • Our state Maharashtra produces only 200 diplomas and 160 bachelors in Metallurgical Engineering. Out of this number very few pursue career in Metallurgical industry. Govt. Poly. /Comm Colg/MHRD

Kolhapur Foundry Cluster • Kolhapur Foundry cluster in houses more than 350 foundries. • Kolhapur Foundry Cluster produces quality castings which are supplied to most of the automobile industries of India as well as there is large quantity of export. Automobile Industries has stringent quality requirements for castings. Kolhapur Foundry Cluster has been successful in continuous improvement in quality of castings. • There are more than 1, 50000 people working directly and indirectly in foundries. Majority of them are not formally qualified. Govt. Poly. /Comm Colg/MHRD

Partnership between the Indian Institute of Foundry men and Government Polytechnic, Kolhapur since year 2006 Ø IIF, Kop. and Govt. Poly. , Kop. have been working together in design, development and conduction of various educational programmes in the field of Foundry Technology for last 8 years. Ø IIF, Kop has provided teaching faculty to these programmes, arranged donations and equipments to set up the laboratories. Ø IIF, Kolhapur with its own initiative has been instrumental in setting up Metallurgy department in Government Polytechnic, Kolhapur.
