 2. BACKGROUND
2.1 Apprenticeship Training Scheme under Apprentice Act 1961

The Apprentices Act, 1961 was enacted with the objective of regulating the programme of training of
apprentices in the industry by utilizing the facilities available therein for imparting on-the-job
training. The Act makes it obligatory for employers in specified industries to engage apprentices in
designated trades to impart Apprenticeship Training on the job in industry to school leavers and
person having National Trade Certificate(ITI pass-outs) issued by National Council for Vocational
Training (NCVT) to develop skilled manpower for the industry. There are four categories of
apprentices namely; trade apprentice, graduate, technician and technician (vocational)
apprentices.

Qualifications and period of apprenticeship training of trade apprentices vary from trade to trade.
The apprenticeship training for trade apprentices consists of basic training followed by practical
training. At the end of the training, the apprentices are required to appear in a trade test conducted by
NCVT and those successful in the trade tests are awarded the National Apprenticeship Certificate.

The period of apprenticeship training for graduate (engineers), technician (diploma holders and
technician (vocational) apprentices is one year. Certificates are awarded on completion of training by
the Department of Education, Ministry of Human Resource Development.

2.2 Changes in Industrial Scenario

Recently we have seen huge changes in the Indian industry. The Indian Industry registered an
impressive growth during the last decade and half. The number of industries in India have increased
manifold in the last fifteen years especially in services and manufacturing sectors. It has been realized
that India would become a prosperous and a modern state by raising skill levels, including by
engaging a larger proportion of apprentices, will be critical to success; as will stronger collaboration
between industry and the trainees to ensure the supply of skilled workforce and drive development
through employment. Various initiatives to build up an adequate infrastructure for rapid
industrialization and improve the industrial scenario in India have been taken.

2.3 Reformation

The Apprentices Act, 1961 has been amended and brought into effect from 22 nd December, 2014 to
make it more responsive to industry and youth. Key amendments are as given below:
 Prescription of number of apprentices to be engaged at establishment level instead of trade-wise.
 Establishment can also engage apprentices in optional trades which are not designated, with the
discretion of entry level qualification and syllabus.
 Scope has been extended also to non-engineering occupations.
 Establishments have been permitted to outsource basic training in an institute of their choice.
 The burden of compliance on industry has been reduced significantly.

 3. RATIONALE
(Need for Apprenticeship in Instrument Mechanic trade)

The demand for precise measurement and control of plant parameters are increasing day by day
for modern industries that rely heavily on automation for economic viability and mass
production. The availability of sophisticated instrument and variety of control devices has
greatly improved not only the quality of the product but also contributed to the reduction of the
cost. In the present times it is impossible to think of the industrial productions without
instrument and control. The operation and safety of the plant relies on these instruments so the
Instrument Mechanic is very important as they constantly monitor and calibrate these
instruments.

 4. JOB ROLES: REFERENCE NCO
Brief description of Job roles:

Mechanic, Precision Instrument General tests, repairs, overhauls and assembles various
precision instruments and their parts for efficient performance. Examines instrument for defects.
Rectify the defects by appropriate procedures. Tests performance either by visual observation or
by conducting simple electrical and mechanical tests and ensures that repaired or assembled
instrument conforms to prescribed efficiency. May make new components and assemble new
instruments. May specialize in any particular type of instrument like mechanical, hydraulic,
pneumatic, electrical, optical, orthopedic etc.

Mechanic Precision Instrument, Mechanical makes, alters and adjusts mechanical instruments
or mechanical parts of electrical and optical instruments by accurate milling, filing, grinding,
lapping and other processes. Studies drawings or samples and examines precision instrument
like balance, meters, pressure gauges etc. for defects. Dismantles instrument, cleans metal
components in petrol, kerosene oil or otherwise and checks them to find out extent of damage
and further serviceability. Makes necessary adjustments and seals meters to avoid manipulations.
May specialize in particular type of instruments like balance, pressure gauges, meters,
theodolites, etc. May make new instruments from blue prints.

Mechanic Optical Instruments repairs and sets optical instruments such as microscopes,
telescopes, binoculars theodolites, photography cameras, sextants etc. for enlarged view
photography for recording accurate measurements, etc. by checking centering, setting lenses to
required focal length and adjusting other components to required perfection. Examines optical
instruments for defects visually or by focusing it to standard observations. Aligns parts to
requirement and assembles components to form complete unit. Makes necessary settings and
adjustments to instruments and tests to repaired unit for clarity and efficiency by visual
observations or by using them over fields to ensure desired result and accuracy. May assemble
and fit new equipment.

Precision Instrument Makers and Repairers, other perform number of low skilled and routine
tasks such as dismantling instruments, filing, making connections, operating vacuum machine,
soldering, sealing covers, cleaning lenses etc., and is designated as Instrument Mechanic Mate,
Instrument Mechanic Helper.

Instrument Mechanic supports the plant operation and all machines operation is safe & running
correctly by conducting inspections and preventive maintenance. His job role involves skilled
mechanical and electrical and electronic work such as

 Refer manuals, reading and interpreting circuit diagrams, blueprints and schematics
 inspecting and testing the operation of instruments and systems to diagnose faults using
testing devices
 writing maintenance reports

7
  repairing and adjusting system components or removing and replacing defective parts
 calibrating components and instruments
 performing scheduled preventative maintenance work
 installing control and measurement instruments on existing or new plant equipment
 observing safety in accordance with government and company standards
