Our Heritage

Established on May 16, 1920, in response to the pressing issue of rising unemployment, The George Telegraph Training Institute emerged as a registered trust committed to human resource development, aligning itself with the evolving needs of the Indian industry. As a trailblazer in the realm of education in India, the institute's inception marked a crucial period just after the First World War. During this time, India witnessed a shift from an agrarian economy in recession to accelerated industrial growth, accompanied by a surge in urbanization and heightened expectations among the youth for meaningful employment and career opportunities.

Despite the increased levels of education, there existed a stark misalignment between the skills imparted and the job requirements of the rapidly expanding Indian industry. Recognizing this gap, Mr Haripada Dutta, a visionary with keen commercial insight, founded GTTI to address the unmet needs of the workforce.

In its early stages, GTTI identified the burgeoning demand for telegraphy, an effective communication method introduced in the Indian subcontinent. The institute swiftly adapted, offering courses such as Telegraphy Railway Coaching, Guard, and Assistant Station Master's Diploma, catering to the industry's requirements.

Within a short span, George Telegraph gained recognition as a center of excellence, earning accolades from esteemed bodies such as the British Army, the British Railway Board, the Ministry of Communications-Government of India, the Department of Labour-Government of India, Railway Board, New Delhi, Maritime Authorities, and various Chambers of Commerce.

Over the years, the institute has evolved to offer a comprehensive array of training programs in electronics engineering, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, civil engineering, commercial practice, communicative studies, and computer software. With a network of more than 50 centers in eastern India, George Telegraph Training Institute continues to play a pivotal role in shaping the skills and careers of the nation's youth, remaining dedicated to its founding vision of addressing the dynamic needs of the industry.
