The Scheme of Community Development through Polytechnics (CDTP) was initiated by the ministry of Human Resource Development and started in this college during the academic year 2009-2010. This programme envisages providing non formal, short term, employment oriented skill development programmes to various sections of the community, particularly the rural, unorganized & disadvantaged sections of the society, to enable them to obtain gainful self / wage employment. Duration of training usually ranges from three to six months. These courses are offered in the college premises, as well as through extension centres at AmaravathiPudur, Sakkottai, Keelapoongudi, Manachai and Vetriyur. No fee is collected from the trainees under this Scheme and there is no restriction of age and qualification for the trainees.
