As one of the oldest cities in Tamil Nadu, Madurai never lacked trade or industrial activity. It is one of the biggest markets for almost all southern districts with agricultural produce, consumer products and groceries transacted. On the industrial front, Madurai is the hub of plastic and rubber industries, and of papads and other food products.
But it is always felt that in spite of its huge potential, Madurai falls short of becoming a major industrial hub for southern Tamil Nadu, as Coimbatore is for the western part of the state.
One of the reasons for the city lagging in the area is the absence of an industrial or business culture. Industrial units have to undergo transformations on the organisational, behavioural and functional fronts in keeping with the changing times.
In view of this, the business information centre of Madurai district tiny and small scale industries association (MADITSSIA) has come out with a year-long course, 'Organisation growth training programme' under its BIC-PromoIND culture project for industries.
Director of MADITSSIA - BIC R.Arangannal said it was an exercise to take industrial units to the next level by improving industrial culture in the units.
"It will be an ongoing programme at four levels where participants have to attend one day's training in a month. Starting from this August, we will have it round the year till next August," he said.
Level 1 training will be for managing directors and chief executive officers, level 2 for managers and technical officers, level 3 for supervisors, while level 4 will be for auditors and human resource personnel.
Only 20 companies will be allowed for the training. The company may have to spend Rs 20,000 for the training. "We need to work on this industrial culture where we have to tune the employees of our industrial units, motivate them to get involved in the growth of their companies," Arangannal said.
