the Scheme as approved by the Cabinet.

Benefits under the Scheme
Through expansion and strengthening of ITIs it is envisaged to equip the
youth with employable vocational skills. Keeping in view local industrial scenario,
participating States have identified trades for introduction in new ITI.s as well as
existing ITI.s.
Introduction of long-term and short-term courses
There will be two types of courses:
a) Long-term trades of regular duration under the Craftsmen
Training Scheme. These trades will be conducted under the
National Council for Vocational Training (NCVT).
b) Short-term courses under State Council for Vocational Training
(SCVT). Short-term courses have been specially identified and
designed to cater to the immediate training requirements in
service and manufacturing sectors. Curricula for short-term
vocational training courses have been prepared by Central Staff
Training and Research Institute (CSTARI), Kolkata under its
Project No. 150. The Course curricula have been designed by
CSTARI in consultation with the concerned States as well as
trades experts drawn from different institutes and industrial
establishments. Duration of short-term courses ranges from 3
months to 6 months.
Broadly speaking, the following benefits will flow from the Scheme:
1. Additional seating capacity of 3152 will be created through setting up
of 22 new ITIs. State-wise addition of seats is at Annex-IV.
2. Additional seating capacity of 5382 will be created through
strengthening/ modernization of 35 existing ITIs. State-wise addition
of seats is at Annex-V.
3. A total of 312 candidates will undergo craftsmen training in DGE&T
Institutes. Besides, Vocational Instructors for trades to be introduced
will also be trained. State-wise number of trainees to be trained
under the CTS is at Annex-VI.
Thus the total addition of seats will be 8534 through long-term as well as
short-term courses. Besides, candidates under CTS and Vocational Instructors
will receive training in DGE&T institutes.

Implementation Schedule and Monitoring of the Scheme
Implementation Schedules for civil works and equipment relating to new
as well as existing ITI.s have been drawn up by DGE&T in consultation with the
concerned States for better coordination and expeditious execution of the
Scheme. Sanction of funds for different activities envisaged under the Scheme
to the concerned States and monitoring is being done by DGE&T. Prime
Minister’s Office (PMO) and Department of Development of North-Eastern
Region (DDONER), Govt. of India periodically review the Scheme.
Central Project Implementation Unit (CPIU) headed by Director of Training
(Project), DGE&T under the Ministry of Labour is responsible for processing the
state proposals and release of central shares under different components of the
Scheme. A Link Officer of the rank of Joint Director from CSTARI, Kolkata has
also been assigned to closely supervise the progress of implementation of the
Scheme. Project Implementation Committees have also been formed at the State
levels to monitor the implementation at their levels. The reviews of the schemes
are held in DGE&T every month by the Joint Secretary/DG, DGE&T.
