The industries related to automobile, railways, ports and ship building, oil gas and refinery, nuclear, power, water supply and sanitation rely heavily on welding for mass production of various types of components. The higher production rates encountered in the mass production have led to very higher degree of automation and mechanization associated with special purpose processes. It is highly essential and important that India becomes a major manufacturing unit to increase the G.D.P. Growth from 9% to 12%. This requires high quality skills in the manufacturing technology which can be ensured with a continued supply of quality manpower. Universally, short supply of welding technologists and welders are being felt. The problem can be minimized through vocational education, training, up gradation of curriculum and public-private partnership. An integrated approach in this line may a good solution to the problem of unemployment and to meet the shortage of manpower in this profession.
