In order to meet the future challenges in this sector, proper ground work need to be done to have adequately trained manpower at all levels. Taking advantage of the prevailing demand for the computer courses, various organizations have started conducting courses with their own syllabus and offering training in their own style. Some of these computer organizations have also been approaching the State Board of Technical Education and Training to recognize their courses and accord affiliation. Consequent to the decision taken at Vice-Chancellors meeting held in July 1997, and based on the report of the JNT University, the State Board of Technical Education and Training(SBTET) has convened a meeting consisting of representatives from the computer industry and type writing institutions.
