 Our Vision

 Mission

The institution is committed to the village folk and tries to attract them to simple vocational training and make them aware of their capacity to be a part of the present-day national stream and benefit from that.

 Objectives

to enable unemployed, semi-educated, and uneducated people to be efficient and self-sufficient by providing them with various technical education programs.

to provide semi- and higher-educated people with short-term skill-based vocational training (middle and higher-level technical training) so they can earn a living.

Gradually expanding the program to include more villages
