AHMEDABAD: There have been several political battles over the quality of education in Gujarat. In this time's assembly elections too, the new Aam Aadmi Party had thrown many challenges to the BJP regarding the quality of education. Now the Congress has questioned the BJP government.

Congress questioned the BJP about ITI and said that in the year 2020, 335,482 industrial trainees passed out of which only 92 trainees got employment. .
A shocking figure came out… 3,35,482 industrial trainees passed in ITI and 100 people did not get jobs!
BJP has spoiled the state of Gujarat?
The NITI Aayog report on instructors, trainees, placements and infrastructural facilities working in Industrial Training Institutes (ITIs) across the country and Gujarat has exposed the deteriorating educational and infrastructural system of Industrial Training Institutes of Gujarat. Where are crores of rupees of skill development and labor development employment department being used? Gujarat Pradesh Congress Media Convenor and Spokesperson Dr. Manish Doshi said that even after receiving training in industrial training institutes in Gujarat, youths do not get employment. In the year 2020, 335,482 industrial trainees passed out of which only 92 trainees got employment. In the academic year 2021, there were 1,36,800 seats in the state out of which 81,200 seats were filled, leaving more than 40 percent vacant. The number of female trainees in these industrial training institutes is only 18.78 percent.
The government has only talked about employment and
the Niti Aayog's report on industrial training institutes has exposed the educational and infrastructural facilities of the BJP government's industrial training institutes. A total of 10,004 have been sanctioned for Instructors in ITIs of Gujarat. Out of which more than 4000 posts are vacant for a long time. The BJP government, which talks about providing two crore jobs, has no employment figures. The government does not have any details of how many trainees got employment before and after 2020 after receiving industrial training. Out of 216 Government Industrial Training Institutes in Gujarat only 49 institutes got more than 2 grade and only 36 institutes got less than 1 grade. Pvt 156 ITI Out of only 13 institutes scored more than 2 grade while 76 ITIs scored less than 1 grade.
Lack of facilities in industrial training institutes
According to NITI Aayog report on the deteriorating level of industrial training institutes in Gujarat day by day due to lack of linkage with industrial units, lack of sufficient staff, lack of adequate infrastructure, lack of financial allocation, lack of placements after getting industrial training, the youth of Gujarat are not getting industrial training. But when employment is not found, industries-institute linkages should be strengthened in industrial training institutes, sufficient qualified instructors should be appointed, funds under Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) should be used to prepare technical manpower to industrial training institutes for the future of the youth of the state. Necessary “Employment to every hand” will be available.
