Chandigarh, Oct 18 (UNI) As part of its drive to make the Industrial Training Institutes (ITIs) the 'Centres of Excellence', the Haryana government has decided to upgrade 15 more ITIs over the next three years at a cost of Rs 24 crore.

The spokesman said the institutes at Ambala, Yamunanagar, Karnal, Faridabad and Gurgaon had already been upgraded by adding the trades of leather goods and footwear, instrumentation and automobiles as vocational programmes in these centres.
The main objective of upgrading these ITIs to Centres of Excellence was to produce multi-skilled work force of world standard by introduction of new multi-skilling modular courses as per the needs of industry, he said.
New training technology with close involvement of industry would be adopted. The Centres would be empowered by providing sufficient autonomy in academic, administrative, financial and management matters, he added.
