Majority of rural people and those living in slums require
assistance in adopting appropriate technology for enhancing their productivity and standard of
living. NITTTR established Centre for Rural Development in the year 1979 to evolve a vast network
which can help in adoption of appropriate technologies among the rural people and slum dwellers.
Later, realizing the need for rural entrepreneurship to enhance the quality of rural life and to
work on that the Centre has been renamed as "Centre for Rural and Entrepreneurship Development".

Scheme of Community Development Through Polytechnics (CDTP) which was
implemented during 2009 in 189 polytechnics in the Southern Region. The scheme was sponsored
by then MHRD, Govt. of India, New Delhi. During FY 2017-18 the scheme has been transferred
from MHRD to MSDE. The Scheme aims to uplift the rural youth, the school dropouts, the poor,
the downtrodden etc.,

Scheme of Integrating Persons With Disabilities (IPWD)
into the main stream of technical and vocational education. Nine Polytechnic Colleges
are implementing this scheme in Southern Region.
|
|
|
The Centre used to conduct Faculty Development Programme (FDP) in
Entrepreneurship with an objective to train and develop faculty members from universities,
engineering colleges and polytechnic colleges involved or likely to be involved in
entrepreneurship related activities.

Role of NITTTR: To enable the project personnel associated with the
implementation of CDTP scheme in their respective polytechnics, the Centre for Rural and
Entrepreneurship Development (CRED) of the institute serves as a resource centre.
The Polytechnics carryout the activities based on the Annual Operation Plan (AOP)
approved by NITTTR. It conducts orientation training programmes, workshops and annual
review of the scheme to verify Physical Achievement Report (PAR). Besides, the CRED
assists the MSDE in preparation of various progress reports and the expenditure related matters.
