Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan on Tuesday wrote to Union MSME Minister Nitin Gadkaru requesting his early intervention for setting up an extension center of Central Tool Room and Training Centre (CTTC) at Angul to provide production, design, consultancy and training facilities to small scale industries.
Now, CTTC, Bhubaneswar is among 10 TRs/TDIs in India, with extension centers at Jajpur and Rayagada which have played an instrumental role in supporting the development of small-scale industries, up-skilling of technical manpower and creation of employment prospects. Another centre if established at Angul would provide affordable training programmes and provide project consultancy to the many small-scale industries operating around Angul, he argued.
