January 18th, 2008
Following is an excerpt from a report in the New Indian Express.
The State Government and the Director- General of Employment and Training (DGE&T) have decided to upgrade four ITIs into centres of excellence with World Bank assistance.
The DGT&E has identified the ITIs at Berhampur, Hirakud, Balasore and Talcher for upgradation. While the ITI at Berhampur deals with automobile sector, the institute at Hirakud is for the process plant maintenance sector.
The ITI at Balasore deals with the electrical sector while the one at Talcher is for production and manufacturing. Though the proposal was floated in 2006-07 financial year, it could not be taken up because of delay in release of funds.
The DGE&T has agreed in principle to provide finance during the year for the project. An MoU was signed between the State Government and the DGT&E on December 17 for implementation of the scheme with World Bank assistance.
