The  Government  of  India  has  collaborated  with  the  World Bank under the Vocational Training Improvement Project (VTIP) for upgradation of 400 Government Industrial Training Institutes (ITIs) in 34 State Governments/UTs.

Further,  an  amount  of  Rs.  2.0  to  3.5  crore  was  allocated  under  VTIP  for improvement of ITIs on the basis of the Institutional Development Plan (IDP) submitted by the ITIs. During implementation of the Project, funds were also reallocated between ITIs within overall allocation to the respective States. Besides, additional fund of Rs. 1.0 to 1.5 crore has also been allocated to the Project ITIs based on their Action Plan. Under the project, Rs. 1739 cr. has been allocated to the States/Union Territories against which Rs. 1486  cr.  has  been  utilised  till  December,  2015.  The  States/UTs-wise  detail  is  given  in Annexure.

Besides,  to  associate  industry  sector  under  the  Project,  Institute  Management Committee  (IMC)  has  been  constituted  at  ITI  level  with  the  chairmanship  from  the industry.

In addition, there are following two other projects which have been approved by the Screening  Committee  of  Department  of  Economic  Affairs,  Ministry  of  Finance  for assistance from the World Bank:-
