Abstract	In the era of Industry 4.0, the efficacy of a nation’s manufacturing sector is increasingly dependent on the synergy between digital design and physical execution. At Government ITI Durgapur, Sri Snehanshu Manna has pioneered a "Design-to-Production" methodology that transcends traditional vocational instruction. By integrating 3D CAD modeling with CNC machining, Manna has redefined the role of the trainee from a machine operator to a technical architect. This article examines the "Manna Model" and its profound implications for regional industrial growth and social mobility.
Keywords	As India maneuvers to become a global manufacturing hub under the "Make in India" initiative, the quality of technical training at the grassroots level has become a critical focal point. While infrastructure is essential, the human element—mentorship and curriculum innovation—remains the primary driver of success. Sri Snehanshu Manna, an Instructor in the Turner trade under the Directorate of Industrial Training (DIT), West Bengal, has emerged as a pivotal figure in this transformation. With a career spanning 16 years, Manna’s work serves as a blueprint for the future of technical education in South Asia.
