Discontinuation of CTS in ATIs and CTI

Resolution of CSAD, Chennai

We would like to convey our strong objections to discontinue the Craftsmen Training Scheme in CTI and ATIs of DGET field institutes, which is against the very basic objective of quality training to Craft Instructor trainees.  

To have real-time practical experience, the instructor trainees need actual training environment of Craftsman training. Realizing this importance, the then DGET authorities decided to introduce MTIs in all ATIs and CTI, in the early 1960s. this important aspect of quality training is undermined by the proposed decision. 

The Model Training Institutes of DGET stand as typical models for Craftsman training and the very poor and weaker section the society are too benefitted by this program.

It could be lauded if the DGET decides to expand the present MTI scheme to a larger level as it would be in the interests of the weaker sections of the society. But the present decision to shut down the MTIs is against the interests of the thousands of odd, poor beneficiaries.

Further your decision will result in reduction of DGET staff throughout the country which is a cause of concern to us.

Once again we stress our point that without real-time practical teaching, quality in Crafts instructor training cannot be achieved.

For the above said reasons, we request you to withdraw the order to discontinue the CTS training scheme in CTI and ATIs.

Our staff association firmly resolves to fight vigorously against the discontinuation of the CTS scheme in the field institutes till we get justice.
