Deputy Chief Minister and Education Minister Manish Sisodia Thursday felicitated the students who topped the Craftsman Training Scheme (CTS) in Delhi Government’s ITI.
Encouraging the youth there, Sisodia said that talented students coming out of training institutes like ITI would write a new story for the future.
“Our country will become developed only when the youth of the country is skilled. Along with getting the degree, the youth will have to become skilled,” he said.
“Due to the Covid–19 pandemic, there has been a lot of loss to the education of the children.
However, Delhi’s ITIs are performing well in the skill education field. We are living in the era where life cannot be easy without skills. Only skilled youth can lay the foundation of a developed country. Any feedback from the students to improve ITI will be extremely useful to us so that our youth can receive world-class training,” he added.
As interactions and practical learning was rare in the past 17 months Sisodia directed all the headmasters of ITIs to prepare a programme of action at the earliest for students to be given more practical work so that they have practical knowledge of their course when they seek employment.
It is noteworthy that in 19 Government ITIs of Delhi, students are provided training in 49 trades.
All these trades are affiliated to the National Council for Vocational Training. About 11,000 students enroll in these institutes every year, and after training, more than 80 per cent of the students get employment easily. DTC buses old, should be withdrawn: Gupta
