A Memorandum of Understanding was signed on Tuesday between the Tamil Nadu government’s Department of Employment and Training and the Tata Technologies, in the presence of Chief Minister M.K. Stalin, for upgrading the State-run Industrial Technical Institutes (ITIs) into modern technology centres.

According to a press release, these modern technology centres would facilitate skill training in machinery, equipment, tools, hardware, software and services to be rendered for establishing long-term trades such as manufacturing process control and automation, industrial robotics and digital manufacturing, mechanical electrical vehicles, basics design, among others.
