Initially, it was offering four days’ training for fitters and it covered all machinery, accessories and equipment.

As the textile industry was facing acute shortage of manpower for mechanical, electrical and electronic maintenance.

SIMA chairman T. Rajkumar has said that a pilot mill was established for the purpose and Lakshmi Machine Works had donated the entire range of machinery.

He has appealed to the textile mills in the State to make use of the facility to provide training to their workers.
