Abstract
This paper explores the historical and ideological contestations over the meaning, nature and scope of industrial skill training in state-sponsored Industrial Training Institutes (ITIs) in their attempts to create a disciplined and committed labour force in India. Through a combination of conceptual insights drawn from Indian labour historiography and ethnographic participant research, the paper addresses the challenges faced by ITIs in maintaining a unified, centralized vision for industrial skill-training of workers under conditions of vastly uneven geographical development of the industrial sector and progressively intense interregional capital mobility in contemporary India.
