Lok Sabha MP Janaradhan Swamy stressed the need of including good communication tools in the education system.
Showing concerns towards communication skills among engineers in the country, Lok Sabha MP Janaradhan Swamy stressed the need of including good communication tools in the education system.
Swamy was speaking at the inaugural function of the Technical Communication World India (TC World), a conference organised by Technical Writers of India (TWIN) on Thursday.
He also spoke about the importance of cultivating communication skills to suit industry standards.
“The communication skills of many engineers in the country are bad. Many of them don’t learn the language through the educational system until they start working. This is why the government should include good communication tools in the educational system,” he said.
While Swamy spoke about the need for communication skills, the organisers stressed that the demand for technical writers in India is growing.
“We came to India about three years ago and realised that there is a demand for technical writers. Last year at this programme, we had 300 participants and this year the number has increased by 10%. You just have to go online to see the demand for such writers,” said Dr Michael Fritz, executive director, TC World.
Ram Shanmugal, manager, Tata Interactive Systems, said that there will soon be a large need for technical writers in the country.
“In another two years, it is going to become a sought after job.
There are certain norms in Europe and US about the standard of writing in various industries especially in automobile industry and those standards are being adopted in India, so there will be plenty of new opportunities,” he said.
