Introduction
The Community Polytechnics scheme was started in 1978-79 and, after a two-year break during 2007 and 2008, it was relaunched in 2009 as the Community Development through Polytechnics (CDTP) scheme. It envisages providing non-formal, short-term, employment-oriented skill development programs through AICTE-approved Polytechnics, particularly for rural, unorganized & disadvantaged sections of society, enabling them to obtain gainful self/wage employment.
