The  Directorate  General  of  Training  (DGT)  of  MSDE,  under  its  Craftsmanship Training Scheme (CTS), has imparted long-term vocational training through a network of 14,604 Industrial Training Institutes (ITIs). Government has made a provision of 30% reservation  of  seats  for  women  candidates  all  over  the  country  in  Industrial  Training Institutes (ITIs) and Industrial Training Centers (ITCs) for promoting women participation in  skill  training  encouraging  them  through  enrolling  in  various  Industrial  Training Institutes (ITIs) in various trades under Craftsman Training Scheme (CTS) all over the country.
