Specialized skills accompanied by the scale of execution decide the rate of national progress and future development, which will be continual and sustainable. In my 35 years of work experience, I had opportunity to interact with the finest of industry professionals, training institutes, employment agencies and technology drivers. A key area of progress, which relates directly towards meeting the national growth targets, is about processing of steel. Steel plays an important role in our day-to-day life. Starting from our basic day needs to building super structures, its steel everywhere. A close look at steel processing helps us identify the areas of attention required and possible steps towards addressing the same. Thermal cutting of steel, namely through gas, plasma and laser cutting forms backbone of the steel processing process. This gives us opportunity to study the challenges within and recommend steps to mitigate the same. The inauguration of the world's longest highway tunnel, the Atal Tunnel, and the construction of the world's highest railway bridge, the Chenab Bridge to name a few. India's infrastructure sector is poised for unparalleled growth, driven by government initiatives .and increased investments. India is poised for strong growth in this area, with investments worth approximately US$1.4 trillion planned by 2025. Currently, the construction of national highways extended to approximately 12,000 kilometers, averaging about 30 kilometers per day. Studies indicate that there are several factors that contribute to poor or strong national infrastructure, and they include funds, provision of developmental resources and efficiency of labour as well as repair and maintenance. Our study identifies the national scenario with respect to available skills in the area of CNC thermal cutting. The study involved a detailed SWOT analysis, fundamental research and the analyzing the present scenario and implementation of essential steps for the future.
