The National Steering Committee has approved the pan-India rollout of the PM-SETU scheme, a programme described as worth Rs 60,000 crore. The clearance allows the scheme to expand nationwide across 200 ITI (Industrial Training Institute) clusters, with the implementation planned at the pan-India level.
In addition to the broader rollout approval, the committee clears strategic investments totalling Rs 1,237.58 crore for the upgrade and modernisation of ITIs. The funding is intended to support industry-led improvements, including measures aimed at strengthening training infrastructure and capabilities within the selected ITI cluster ecosystem.
Both reports state that the decision comes through the National Steering Committee’s clearance, and that the approved investments form part of the scheme’s implementation planning for ITI modernisation. The articles do not provide additional details such as timelines, specific allocation modalities, or the list of ITI clusters beyond the figure of 200 clusters.
