Scheme for opening of ITIs in Unserved blocks

To address the lack of skill training facilities in unserved blocks, the DGT introduced a scheme in 2019, for establishing Multi Skill Training Institutes (MSTIs) in unserved blocks by relaxing the Affiliation Norms 2018. However, challenges in implementation necessitated further simplification of the guidelines. Accordingly, the scheme has now been restructured and redefined as Mini Skill Training Institutes (MSTI).

An unserved block is defined as a revenue block where no Government ITI, Private ITI, or any other DGT-affiliated Skill Training institute exists at the time of application. MSTIs are specifically meant for these regions to enhance accessibility to skill training.

The block shall also be considered unserved if proposals for affiliation are under process at any Stage—such as desktop assessment at the State Directorate level, inspection at the RDSDE level, or no final decision (either in the form of Minutes of SCAA meeting or in the affiliation order) has been issued by the DGT as on the date of MSTI application.

The block shall also be deemed unserved if a final de-affiliation order has been issued by the DGT in respect of an existing ITI, and no other affiliated institute is operational in that block as on the date of MSTI application.

Guidelines for open MSTI

• An institute under the MSTI Scheme can be established in any unserved block, offering a minimum of two long-term CTS trades, with two units (1+1) per trade, total of four units.
• The State Directorate may issue NOCs to only two applicants under the MSTI category in any unserved block, provided that each institute offers a completely distinct set of trades.
• The construction of the institute building, and all safety provisions must comply with the NBC code/local building byelaws of the respective State/UT as defined for these areas.

Land/ Area required for open MSTI

• For a minimum of two trades with total four units, the total land requirement is 0.3 acres (Approx. 1200 sq mtr).
• If an applicant institute intends to open an MSTI with more than two trades and four units, they must comply with the minimum area requirements for workshops, classrooms, multipurpose halls, IT labs, and libraries, in addition to minimum area required to open MSTI.
