APSSDC - GVP Skill Development Activities
Gayatri Vidya Parishad (GVP) History The GVP College of Engineering has been started in 1996 by the well respected educational society Gayatri Vidya Parishad of Visakhapatnam. The parental society GVP was itself started in 1988 and the GVPCE (A) is the flag- ship college of this society which has now 3 Engineering colleges, a college for general Degree and PG courses, a Junior College and a Secondary School. All the educational institutions of GVP put together have now over 10 000 students and over 600 Faculty members in the city of Visakhapatnam, A.P. GVPCE Leadership Role for Earliest Skill Development Center in 2002 The management of the GVPCE (A) has realized as early as at the beginning of the current millennium that one of the areas in engineering education in Indian Universities that requires special attention is the development of state of the art practical skills amongst students in engineering colleges, polytechnics and ITIs. It is around that time the Government of Andhra Pradesh in collaboration with the German Government (through its agency GTZ) wanted to establish a skill development centre at Visakhapatnam on the lines of CRISP at Bhopal and was looking for a private engineering college as a partner to establish and run such an institute on PPP model. After visits to a number of private engineering colleges in and around Visakhapatnam in 2002 by a team of experts from the two Governments, the GVPCE (A) was selected as the private partner because of its outstanding track-record in developing a new institution to a high level in a very short time. This partnership resulted in the establishment of the Indo-German Institute of Advanced Technology (IGIAT) in the Industrial Estate of Visakhapatnam. The German Government contributed aid worth about Rs 12 crores in the form of services of technical experts and equipment, The AP Government provided about 5 acres of land and Rs 4 crores for the building (about 30 000 sq ft) and the GVP has contributed about Rs 2.5 crores towards initial recurring expenses and also provided management services during the first few years of its existence. Prof Dr Ing. P S Rao, Principal (1996-2005) of GVPCE (A), was also the Founding Director of Indo-German Institute for Advanced Training (IGIAT) during (2005-06). IGIAT has during the last 10 years has trained over 30,000 candidates in various fields like CNC Machining, Skills for CNC programming, Advanced software skills for programming PLCs and Drives and Computer Networking (in collaboration with CISCO), which are a few worth mentioning.
