Vocational Training is a concurrent subject of both Central and State Governments. The development of training schemes at National level, evolution of policy, laying of training standard, norms, framing of syllabi, conducting of examinations, certification, etc. are the responsibilities of the Central Government, whereas Opening of ITIs and day to day administration including admission in ITIs rests with the respective State Governments / UTs.
