The foundation stone of St. Joseph Industrial Training Institute was laid on the 30th January 1963, the eve of the feast of St. John Bosco the founder of the congregation. The first course offered was of a general nature called ‘Machinist’ and it included abilities of Turners, Fitters and Machine Operators. Later recognition was sought from the government for the same courses and these came under the guidelines of the National Council for Vocational Training (NCVT). With the advent of computers the Institute began courses in computer education from the year 1987 and has kept abreast with the recent developments This Institute boasts of several of its alumni who have set up their own small-scale industries, in addition many others have perfected their skills, specialized themselves and have found lucrative jobs within the country and overseas.
