Government Industrial Training Institute, Senapati was initially established on 28th October,1974 at Tadubi with three trades namely Wireman, Stenographer and Building Construction under Craftsmen Training Scheme by the Govt. of Manipur with the objective to impart vocational/skill training to the educated unemployed youths in the district so that they may take recruitment to the services and posts of state/ Central and to the public/ private sector etc.and also to make themselves for self employment and to bring a better socio-economic condition in the district. However, in due course of time, trade- Building construction was abolished due to non availability of trainees and lack of demand.
