Enhancing Skills for the Future
Given the scarcity of technical personnel in eye care, NYSASDRI has proposed to conduct a one-year full-time training course for Vision Technicians. NYSASDRI applied to the Government of India's Health Sector Skill Council, and the course was affiliated. The BMZ in Germany has also looked into the initiative and has agreed to support the students in getting trained under the programme. In the first year of this programme, 40 students from different areas of Odisha have successfully completed the one-year Vision Technician training course.
One-Year Ophthalmic Assistant Course Under NCVRT-Affiliated Course
Skills, knowledge, and innovation are important driving forces of economic growth and social development in our nation. To further strengthen our nation, Kalinga Eye Hospital prioritizes education. Vocational (or skill-based) education is becoming increasingly important today, with many employers expecting new employees to have all of the practical skills that they need to start work. Vocational education is similarly critical for those who have to support their families immediately after senior secondary school.
On the subject of eye care, the status of eye care services is poorer in Odisha than in any other state in India. Eye care requires specific expertise, equipment, and training. One of the major barriers to eye care in Odisha is the absence of adequately trained eye care personnel, particularly the mid-level ophthalmic paramedics (MLOPs) who help to share the burden from the ophthalmologists. After becoming affiliated with the Health Sector Skill Council for Vision Technician Course, this year Kalinga Eye Hospital became affiliated with the National Council of Vocational and Research Training for five vocational training programmes, which include a six-month certificate course for opticians, a one-year certificate course in operation theatre technology, a one-year certificate course for nursing assistants, a one-year diploma course for ophthalmic assistants, and a one-year post-graduate diploma course in clinical optometry. The course is yet to begin, but will be start the programme is running at Kalinga vocational centre, Dhenkanal.
