The Ministry of Human Resource Development has launched a new Scheme of “Community Development through Polytechnics” (CDTP).
This scheme aims to provide non formal, short term, employment oriented skill development programmes to various sections of the community, particularly the rural, unorganised and disadvantaged sections, by harnessing the infrastructure available with Polytechnics.
These courses are to be offered without any fees from the candidates and there is no restriction of age and qualification. The CDTP Scheme is one of the components of the Ministry’s major new initiative.
The CDTP Scheme is to be implemented through 1,000 AICTE approved polytechnics all over the country.
