3. Executive Summary Industrial Training Institutes ( ITIs ) are mandated to train India’s vast technical workforce needed for her ever growing industry. There is growing concern about the quality of training imparted in these institutions owing to the problems with the curricula, infrastructure, instruction quality and other issues, including lack of collaborative effort with industry. India urgently needs her ITIs to produce quality technicians for global competitiveness. Towards this objective of improving the ITIs, a number of IITian’s, led by Atul Mathur, have studied the problem at a high level. The outcome is the birth of “ IITians for ITI ”, a Program envisioned to improve ITIs and drive sustainable excellence in India’s vocational training. The PanIIT Organization is uniquely placed to actively help transform India’s ITIs. PanIIT will provide the platform to formulate and implement the Program, which is being designed to afford opportunities for several IITians to participate, from India and the world over.
