Technical Education in India has a history of over 150 years. During the post-independence period, there has been a phenomenal expansion of Technical Education facilities in the country. Initiatives are being taken to further strengthen the Technical Education System in terms of quality & quantity. Technical Education is offered through 4-tier education system :

¬ Industrial and vocational training for skilled workers and craftsman (ITI level);

¬ Technician Education ( Polytechnic level);¬ Degree courses in Engineering / Technology;¬ Postgraduate courses and Research Programmes.

To develop and nurture a Technical Education System in the Country which would produce skilled manpower of the highest quality

comparable to the very best in the world and in adequate numbers to meet the complex technological needs of the economy; and provide the nation a comparative advantage in the creation and propagation of innovative technological solutions and in the development of a technological capacity of the highest order, both for its application in economic development of the

country and for becoming a major supplier of technology and technological services in the world.

TECHNICAL EDUCATION SYSTEM IN INDIA

VISION

Proper planning and coordinated development of the technical education system throughout the country, the promotion of qualitative improvement of such education in relation to planned quantitative growth and regulation and proper maintenance of norms and standards in the technical education system are the functions of All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE), a statuary body through an Act of Parliament in 1987. The AICTE covers programmes of Technical Education including training & research in Engineering, Technology, Architecture, Town Planning, Management, Pharmacy, Applied Arts & Crafts, Hotel Management & Catering Technology etc. at different levels.

TECHNICAL EDUCATION IN UTTARANCHALTechnical Education in India has its roots in Uttaranchal as the first

ever Engineering Colleges in the whole of then British Empire was established on its soil at Roorkee in 1847 (Now one of the Indian Institute of Technology). The Thomson Engineering College, which was established for the training of Civil Engineers and had been giving diplomas considered to be equivalent to degree was never affiliated to any university. IIT Roorkee offers 10 B.Tech., 57 PG and whole range of Ph.D., degree programmes in Engineering & Technology. It has 19 academic department and 8 academic centres.

Keeping in view the Geographical, Social & Economic conditions of newly carved out state of Uttaranchal and for the purpose of laying special emphasis on development of Technical Education, to provide more and more Technical Education to skilled unemployed and to provide modern technological and Information Technology education, directorate of technical education has been setup in July 2001.

These technical/professional institutes are Government, Government Aided but privately managed and private but privately managed without any Government Aid.
