Welcome
A Government ITI built for the Sundarbans
Basanti Government Industrial Training Institute is a Government Industrial Training Institute at Uttar Sonakhali in the Basanti block of South 24 Parganas, established in 2016 and affiliated to the National Council for Vocational Training (NCVT).
The institute runs courses under the Craftsman Training Scheme (CTS) of the Directorate General of Training, Government of India. Training is deliberately workshop-first: a trainee spends the larger part of each day on practical work at the bench, the machine or the panel, supported by trade theory, workshop calculation, engineering drawing and Employability Skills.
For young people of Basanti, Gosaba, Canning and the surrounding islands, a National Trade Certificate is one of the shortest honest routes from Class X to a wage-paying job, an apprenticeship, or a workshop of one's own.
