“The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. Intelligence plus character - that is the goal of true education.” – Martin Luther king
Education has always been the only way to unlock the
true potential of a person, community, society and a nation. From the early
times human has been growing exponentially so is there knowledge.
Advancement in technology paved way for a whole new
concept of education in modern times. We are past the ages when technology has
been the luxury of rich ones. Nowadays it has become a commodity of commons. To
fulfill the needs for today’s world we need a fresh set of individuals who are
proficient in application of technology in daily chores or in other terms we
need technicians.
What is a technician?
Technician is an enforcer and keeper of the technology. He is an expert who has both theoretical knowledge of principle governing the machine and practical knowledge of its working. He is a vital cog between the machine or technology and its application in day to day life.
Such abundance of technology also resulted in need of
a great amount of Human Resource in technical department.

These are all the fields which gives employment
opportunities in Modern Era and as you see almost every field is connected with
Technology and somehow its development is dependent on involvement of
technology.
All these indicate only one thing that, you need
technical knowledge to survive in today’s today and if have any technical
education you can easily found employment.
Technical Education plays a vital role in human
resource development of the country by creating skilled manpower, enhancing
industrial productivity and improving the quality of life of its people.
Technical Education covers programmed in engineering, technology, management,
architecture, town planning, pharmacy, applied arts & crafts, hotel
management and catering technology.
India has one of the fastest growing service
sectors in the world with an annual growth rate above 9% since 2001,
which contributed to 57% of GDP in 2012–13. India has become
a major exporter of IT services, Business Process
Outsourcing (BPO) services, and software services with $154
billion revenue in FY 2017. This is the fastest-growing part of the
economy. The
IT industry continues to be the largest private-sector employer in India. India
is the third-largest start-up hub in the world with over 3,100 technology
start-ups in 2014–15. The agricultural sector is the largest employer
in India's economy but contributes to a declining share of its GDP (17% in
2013–14). India ranks second worldwide in farm output. The industry (manufacturing)
sector has held a steady share of its economic contribution (26% of GDP in
2013–14).The Indian automobile industry is one of the largest in the world with
an annual production of 21.48 million
vehicles (mostly two and three-wheeler) in 2013–14. India had $600 billion worth
of retail market in 2015 and one of world's fastest
growing e-commerce markets.
Quite a number of engineering colleges have been
started since August 15, 1947. It is due to the realization that India has to
become a great industrial country and would require a far larger number of
engineers than could be supplied by the older institutions.
Technical
courses at different levels of education system.
1. After
matriculation (10th)
ITI
& apprenticeship in different trade (mechanic, electrician,
fitter, tuner, R&F, Heat engine etc.
Diploma in various engineering courses (mechanical
engineering, information technology, electrical
engineering, etc.
Certificate and diplomas in lab technicians,
radiography, OT technician etc.
2. After
higher secondary (12th)
Diploma in
various engineering courses (mechanical
engineering, information technology, electrical
engineering, etc.
Bachelor’s
Degree like – BCA, B.sc (Information Technology, Computer Science,
Maths, Chemistry etc.), B.Tech (ME, CS, IT, EEE, E&C, Civil, etc.)
Nursing,
X-Ray technician etc.
3. After
graduation
Master’s degree – MCA, MBA, M.sc, PGDAM, etc.
Special certification – Artificial Intelligence (AI),
Fashion Technology, Data Analysis, public administration, etc.
All of the above courses are very good prospectus for
career build-up at different stages of life.
There are few other emerging fields which would lay
out the future industrial setup and Artificial
Intelligence is one of them. Need for more accurate, precise and
fast output had laid out the foundation for Intelligent machines.
Many premier institutes like IIT-Hyderabad,
Bombay, Roorkee etc. provide graduate and undergraduate courses in
AI. There are many other institutes of repute like Patronage, Amity, etc. also
provide AI
certification course in Delhi NCR area.
Conclusion The timing has never been better for getting technical
knowledge to improve career scope at all levels, in all places, and for people
of all backgrounds. From the modernization of E-rate to the proliferation and
adoption of openly licensed educational resources, the key pieces necessary to
realize best the transformations made possible by technology in education are
in place.
Although the presence of technology
does not ensure equity and accessibility in learning, it has the power to lower
barriers to both in ways previously impossible. No matter their perceived
abilities or geographic locations, all learners can access resources,
experiences, planning tools, and information that can set them on a path to
acquiring expertise unimaginable a generation ago.
All of this can work to augment the
knowledge, skills, and competencies that can be obtained through technical
education.
It is a time of great possibility and progress for the use of
technical knowledge to support career and person growth.
