Vocational Training Fee Reimbursement Scheme
In the state of Maharashtra, the Directorate of Technical Education was established in 1948 to entrust the responsibility of providing technical education at all levels. In the short term after independence, the state of Maharashtra has taken a huge leap in the short term. Due to significant changes in industrial production components in the industrial sector, the technical trained manpower required at various levels and the facilities of recycling education in the state increased drastically. Two directors, such as the Directorate of Business Education and Training, were created. Of these, secondary and higher secondary level business courses are implemented under business education and under the business training, the Central Government -sponsored sculpture training scheme and the nomination papers are implemented.
