Addressing the event, Aman Arora said that on the occasion of the birth anniversary of the first Guru, Guru Nanak, the Punjab government has given a huge gift to the Sunam Udham Singh Wala constituency.

He said that this ITI will provide training in modern, emerging technologies, and other future-oriented fields that are in high demand in the job market. This institution will provide training facilities to approximately 300 youth in various proposed new-age courses to be started in ITIs across the state. The establishment of this ITI will empower Punjab’s youth by providing industry-related skills, self-employment, and entrepreneurship.

These courses will include additive manufacturing technician (3D printing) - 1-year course; CNC machining technician - 2-year course; industrial robotics and digital manufacturing technician - 1-year course; mechanic electric vehicle - 1-year course; solar technician (electrical) - 1-year course; textile mechatronics (first time in Punjab) - 2-year course; and artificial intelligence programming assistant (first time in Punjab) - 1-year course. This institution will serve as a skill development centre for the surrounding rural areas, especially 15 villages, and will make a significant contribution to generating local employment and economic development.
