History
The Directorate General of Employment & Training (DGE&T) in the Ministry of Labour, Government of India initiated Craftsmen Training Scheme (CTS) in 1950 by establishing about 50 Industrial Training Institutes (ITIs) for imparting skills in various vocational trades to meet the skilled manpower requirements for technology and industrial growth of the country. The second major phase of increase in ITIs came with the oil-boom in West-Asia and export of skilled manpower to that region from India. Several new private ITIs were established in 1980’s in southern states mostly in Kerala, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh, etc. from where trained craftsmen found placement mainly in the Gulf countries. In 1980, there were 831 ITIs and the number rose to 1887 ITIs in 1987. During 1990’s, the growth of ITIs had been steep and presently there are over 4499 ITIs.
Government Industrial Training Institute was established in march 1948 under the Department of Industrial Training, intended to impart Vocational Training to ensure a steady flow of skilled workers in different trades for the Industry. The Govt. I.T.I Chackai is located at Thiruvananthapuram town in Thiruvananthapuram District. This Institute was started as a first grade Institute. Presently our institute offers training in 24 trades, which includes Engineering and Non Engineering trades and also short term courses.
