The Government is planning to establish 1500 new Industrial Training
Institutes, ITIs across the country to promote technical education and meet the
demand of skilled labour force. Addressing a meeting of National Council for
Vocational training in Delhi, the Union Minister for Labour and Employment, Mr.

oriented and private sector should share some of the burdens on this front. He
said, the priority for setting up the ITIs would be given to the State
Governments at district, Block and City levels. The Minister said, in 500 ITIs
world class education will be imparted by making them centers of excellence. He
said, the move will also get the support of the World Bank.
The Minister said that the percentage of trained labour in India is between 2
to 5 percent where as in the developed nations the ratio is between 50 to 90
percent. The Government is focusing on increasing the percentage to 50 per cent
