While this has taken longer than envisaged partly due to delays caused by the elections in April and May 2019 in India, this is an important milestone in the operation. However, implementation is lagging behind schedule and the National Project Implementation Unit (NPIU) is working closely with the existing State Project Implement Units (SPIUs) to accelerate implementation of key activities within targeted Industrial Training Institutes (ITIs) and Industry Clusters (ICs). The NPIU team, supported by the Project Management Consultancy (PMC) firm are putting together a regular schedule of visits to the states to provide capacity building support to ITIs and ICs.
