Snehanshu Manna

Abstract: In the era of Industry 4.0, the success of a nation's manufacturing sector now hinges on the integration of digital design with 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 trainee's role, elevating them from machine operator to technical architect. This article examines the "Manna Model" and its profound implications for regional industrial growth and social mobility.
