“The state government after extensive discussions today signed a MoA with TTL for the upgradation of 19 ITIs functioning under the industries and commerce department,” Chief Minister Manik Saha said.
The Chief Minister said that the ITIs have been offering outdated courses that no longer have job prospects, making it difficult for graduates to find employment.
“Under the upgradation plan, the ITIs will introduce new courses with strong job prospects, both in India and abroad. Another advantage of the plan is that TTL will eventually absorb ITI graduates, as it requires skilled manpower,” he added.
Saha said the new courses offered by the ITIs will attract students who have lost faith in the old ones.
