To provide technical training facility to the students of tribal dominated Koraput district the Orissa Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik on Thursday laid the foundation-stone for an Industrial Training Institute (ITI) at Damanjodi.The ITI will be set up through public-private-participation (PPP) mode.
Initially, an amount of Rs 1.16 crore has been given by the National Aluminium Company ( Nalco ) from its periphery development fund .
In view of the rapid industrialisation in the state , setting up of this ITI also aims for enhancing the skills of local youths and helps them to enhance their employability in future.
Students from tribal and weaker sections from the periphery villages will be given priority in admission, apart from other students of the area in the proposed ITI.
Recurring expenditure to run the institute will be met out of the periphery development fund of Nalco. The land for setting up the institute and other facilities will be provided by the district administration of Koraput.
