THE APPRENTICES ACT, 1961
An apprentice is novice or a beginner. To be more precise a person who is learning trade by being employed in it for an agreed period is called apprentice.
The Apprentices Act was enacted in 1961. The Apprentices Act has amongst others two important objectives, e.g., promotion of new manpower skills and improvement/refinement of old skills through theoretical and practical training in number of trades and occupations.
It is now a statutory obligation on the part of every employer covered under the Act to train a prescribed number of persons. Therefore, apprenticeship is a sort of job training. The act defines the technician (vocational)apprentice who holds or is undergoing training in order that he may hold a certificate in vocational course involving two years of study after completion of the secondary stage of school education recognized by All India Council and undergoes apprenticeship training in any such subject filed in any vocational course as may be prescribed.
The act provides an important instrument for sharpening the capability, ingenuity, resourcefulness and skill of the workers and through this eventually helps them enrich their life style.

Dear Mr. Sunil,
According to the Apprenticeship Act 1961, Section 2(g), an establishment includes any place where any industry is carried on. If an establishment consists of different departments and has branches, whether situated in the same place or at different places, all such departments and branches shall be treated as part of that establishment.
Here, Section 2(i) states that establishment in the public sector means an establishment owned, controlled, or managed by:
a) the government or a department of the government,
b) a government company as defined in Section 617 of the Companies Act 1956 (1 of 1956),
c) a corporation (including a cooperative society) established by or under a Central, Provisional, or State Act, which is owned, controlled, or managed by the government,
d) a local authority.
I believe this information will address your query.
Regards,

Thanks for the reply. Actually, the Labor Commissioner in Kolkata is asking for a written application describing in which trades the apprentices will be hired. Based on this, his office will start proceeding to issue the license. I could find no mention of such activities or a license in the Apprentice Act itself.
