In 1950, under the Craftsmen Training Scheme, Industrial Training Institutes (ITIs) were established, for imparting skills in various vocational trades to meet the skilled manpower requirements of the country.
There are 13,353 ITIs across the country, of which 11,000 are private ITIs.
Accreditation process: The Committee noted that in 2012, the Quality Council of India (QCI) was assigned the task of scrutinising, verifying, and accrediting the ITIs. Further, QCI grants accreditation to the institutes on the basis of fulfilling all requirements of accreditation criteria agreed between National Council of Vocational Training (NCVT) and the QCI. The NCVT is the central agency to advise the government in framing the training policy and for coordinating vocational training throughout India. The adherence to NCVT norms with respect to the accredited applications is checked by the Directorate General of Training (DGT) before giving orders for affiliation of the ITIs.

Employment prospects after training: The Committee observed that in 400 government ITIs (as of 2015-16), 64% trainees have found either wage employment or self-employment.
The corresponding figure for 100 private ITIs is 53%.
The Committee noted that more efforts are required to enhance employability of trainees by reviewing and augmenting the skills imparted at the ITIs.
