With a steadfast commitment to bolstering the technical education system, the Yogi Adityanath government has turned its attention to the operations of 47 industrial training institutes (ITIs) and polytechnics across the state, while also enhancing the training processes for the students.
In line with Chief Minister Yogi’s vision, the Directorate of Training and Employment (Training Block) has taken a decisive step to engage private companies in the operation of ITIs and polytechnics spread across various districts of Uttar Pradesh. Their role will be crucial in ensuring the seamless implementation of training and skill development programmes for the trainees.
The selection process for these agencies is being conducted based on the private sector partnership (PSP) module.
Upon completion of this process, it will pave the way for smoothly carrying forward all the educational processes and activities, including short-term vocational courses, in all these ITIs and polytechnics.
The Directorate of Training and Employment has commenced the process of identifying suitable agencies to advance education and training programmes through the implementation of the PSP module. Under this procedure, the PSP will cover the payment of employees essential for the proper functioning of these institutions, along with expenses related to consumables, electricity, maintenance and all taxes and levies associated with fixed assets (land and buildings).
In addition, these agencies will operate ITIs in two shifts, while polytechnics will operate in a single shift every day. Additionally, alongside infrastructure development in terms of land and buildings for ITIs and polytechnics, it will be necessary to develop the management system as well.
The selected 47 ITIs and polytechnics operating through the PSP module will ensure compliance with the standards of National Council for Vocational Training (NCVT) and All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) guidelines. If required, the process of making changes and acquiring equipment for conducting short-term curriculum and other educational activities in ITIs and polytechnics will also be completed. A website will be established for rules, policies and information related to management, operation and performance.
Notably, among these 47 ITIs and polytechnic where this process will be completed, Mirzapur (Sadar), Gonda (Colonelganj), Bahraich (Salarpur), Shahjahanpur (Noorpur Tarasoura and Jalalabad), Farrukhabad (Kaimganj), Hardoi (Gopamau), Basti, Balrampur (Ghunghalpur), Bareilly (Faridpur) and Bijnor (Dhampur) are prominent.
Additionally, in other districts including Kannauj (Chhibramau), Mau (Ghosi), Azamgarh (Phoolpur Pawai), Budaun (Bilsi), Rae Bareli (Salon), Hathras (Sikandra Rao), Banda (Pailani), Shravasti (Ikauna), Kushinagar (Kasia), Chitrakoot (Bargarh), Fatehpur (Devmai), Basti and Bulandshahr, the PSP module will be implemented to enhance education and training programmes in ITIs and polytechnics.
