51 new ITIs to be set up at Haryana

The state government has decided to set up 51 new ITIs, said Education
and Industrial Training Minister Ge-eta Bhukkal here today.

She said 85 skill development centres in the public-private
partnership mode would also be set up to impart training to school
dropouts, and the labour force working in the unorganized sector.
These centres would be established under the Central Skill Development
Mission and located in blocks that did not have any ITI.

While nine of the ITIs had already started functioning, 19 others had
commenced partial operations. The nine new ITIs have increased the
overall intake capacity to about 31,416 students. As many as 119 ITIs
were currently functional in the state.
