Abstract
said Shri Narendar Modi, current Prime Minister of India at the National Conference on Skill Development on the morning of Wednesday 25th September 2013.
In India only 40% of the 55,000 instructors at Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) have undergone a full instructor-training course. There is huge shortage of quality instructors in the country. The quality of training depends upon the quality of trainer. Therefore, there is an urgent need to look into the training of the trainers of ITI (data compiled from Planning Commission Reports 2011).
