The Yogi government is also working continuously on equipping the institutes with necessary facilities and developing the process of training system.

In this regard, proposals are invited through the Request for Proposal (RFP) medium from agencies by UPVESD&TE to identify agencies, which will carry out the exercise based on the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model.
The agency selected by UPVESD&TE will be responsible for enhancing the facilities in the institutional infrastructure of various newly established ITIs and polytechnics in the state. This includes developing technology to meet the training needs, modern technological upgrading of the institutions’ working systems, and the proper execution of responsibilities such as appropriate management.

Under the project, the agency will be provided with all necessary facilities to complete the designated projects in the current construction work of ITIs and polytechnics. It will ensure that if any specific tool, material, or process is covered/protected by intellectual property laws, all necessary rights and licenses are applied for the use of such tools, materials, or processes following applicable laws.
The agency may also be involved in the selection and appointment of faculty members and other staff, and their monitoring may be conducted periodically.
