The state government has decided to set up 51 new ITIs, said Education and Industrial Training Minister Geeta Bhukkal.

She said 85 skill development centres in the public-private partnership mode would also be set up to impart training to school drop outs, 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.
