Delhi Lt Governor Vinai Kumar Saxena has approved extension of services of 229 contractual Craft Instructors (CCI) for another year with effect from August one, 2024 to July 31, 2025 in the Industrial Training Institutes (ITIs) of Delhi.  These employees are engaged on a contract basis in various ITIs of Delhi, Raj Niwas said on Friday.

Giving details, officials said Saxena has given the nod for this extension of one year on the request of the Department of Training and Technical Education (TTE) for the academic session 2024-25.

These Craft Instructors will perform their duties in the Government Industrial Training Institutes of Delhi. The early re-engagement of these 229 CCIs becomes vital for the timely management of classes of senior and junior trainees in all the 19 Government ITIs of Delhi.

Earlier, the LG while approving an extension of services of these CCIs in September 2023, had directed the Department of TTE to notify the vacant posts.  The recruitment process for filling up of 258 posts including Craft Instructors, is under process by DSSSB.

Saxena has been emphasizing permanently filling up vacant posts in several Departments of GNCTD, following due process,through DSSSB / UPSC, in a time-bound manner, rather than filling them up on a contractual basis.  Recruitment for more than 3000 posts of Junior Assistants (Grade-IV) and MTS is already underway in DSSSB for filling up Administrative / General Duty vacant posts in ITIs, Schools, Hospitals, and other departments of GNCTD.
