The initiative consists of putting in continuous efforts for up gradation of these ITI s in to "Centre of Excellence" under the PPP(Public Private Partnership) mode for which IMC s have been formed as envisaged under the scheme with active involvement of the Company personnel in the functioning of these ITI s.
