Technical education is the supreme component of Human Resource Development with infinite potential for supplementing greater value to products and services and for improving the quality of life of the people. The Department of Technical Education explicitly provides technically trained manpower in various fields of Engineering & Technology encompassing Diploma, Post Diploma, Degree & Post Graduate level courses conducted through technical Institutions like Polytechnics/ Engineering Colleges/ Institutions of Management/ Computer/ Pharmacy thereby also meeting the requirements of Industries/ Departments/ Organisations and other user agencies. To accomplish all this, the Department performs multifarious roles which, interalia, entail conducting of Entrance Tests, Admission, Examination, updating of curricula & various training programmes.
Development of entrepreneurship is also promoted through Industry-Institute-Interaction for ensuring proper placement of students, extra-curricular activities and all round development of their personality. The Department goes to the extent of providing necessary assistance & means of controlling almost all vital activities of the Institutions. It even takes corrective measures from time to time to evolve the quality of education through conducting various short term courses & training programmes for the faculty & staff members.
As the Technical Education Department has full administrative control over all Technical Institutions of the State, it takes upon itself the gigantic task of preparing five year plans and annual plans. It also makes budget provisions for the implementation of various schemes & programmes. Further, despite offering assistance to privately managed Government Aided Institutions/ University, it also takes up the onerous task of capacity building by way of creating various facilities at all levels, thereby keeping itself abreast of developing fields of science & technology.
