Continuing with the welfare measures to improve the economic conditions of the people, the Govt of Arunachal Pradesh in its Cabinet Meeting on May 19 last had approved the enhancement of stipend of ITI and Govt Craft Centres Trainees from existing Rs 550 per month to Rs 3000 per month.

This decision has been taken considering the very old rate of stipends that the ITI and Craft Centre Trainees of the state were receiving for the last many years and needed a must upward revision. This measure will go a long way to encourage the unemployed youths to undergo basic skill development training in ITI and Govt Craft Centres so as to make them self-employable and illegible for various govt and private jobs after completion of the training course. It will also encourage youths to learn basic traditional methods of arts, crafts and Hand looms making in the Govt Craft Centres which is in diminishing trend among the youths today.
