The Chief Minister noted that the existing ITIs have been offering outdated courses with limited job opportunities, leaving graduates struggling to secure employment.

“Under the upgradation plan, the ITIs will introduce new courses with high demand both in India and abroad. Additionally, Tata Technologies will absorb ITI graduates in the future, addressing its need for skilled manpower,” Saha added.
