TRAINING OBJECTIVE.

This is an age of communication and the older methods as communication are

becoming obsolete and newer & modern ones are continuously replacing them.
One of such a modern of communiqué is mobile communication. It has now
become a necessity & has been enthusiastically adopted by the people
throughout the world. The modern mass cannot think of life without this facility to
connect with his family and friends at any place at any time.
As a sequel of time a necessity, it is absorbing more people into it than any other
field of life these days, keeping in view this fact, it is felt imperative to introduce
some courses about communication.
Repairing of mobiles and maintaining telecom equipment are such courses being
introduced to produce semi skilled manpower to carry out repairs of the mobiles
and household telecom equipment to meet the job market.
