The Union Labour & Employment Minister Shri Mallikarjun Kharge has informed the Rajya Sabha that On recommendation of National Council for Vocational Training (NCVT), which is an apex advisory body set up by Government of India to advise it on issues relating to Vocational Training, Government has issued orders that institutes seeking affiliation from NCVT must apply for a minimum of two units or multiples thereof a trade at a time and appoint two instructors, one for each unit, as per norms. Out of these two instructors, one instructor should be with Diploma/Degree in relevant branch of engineering from recognised board/university and experience as prescribed by NCVT.
As seating capacity in Government and Private ITIs is growing @ 10% every year and with an average instructor – trainee ratio of 1:16, the new norms will provide teaching/training jobs to around 3000 such graduates every year and this would help in improving the quality of teaching / training standards in these institutes.
As on 30.6.2011 country has 9025 Government and Private ITIs with total seating capacity of 12,69,552. Around 79,000 instructors are engaged in providing skill training in these institutes. As the decision was taken in 2010, the State Governments have been advised to appoint at least 50% instructors of ITIs with Diploma/Degree qualifications which is expected to happen over a period of time.
The Minister was replying to a written question in the Rajya Sabha today.
