National Institute of Technical Teacher Training & Research Chandigarh

According to the text, the National Institute of Technical Teacher Training & Research Chandigarh is one of four institutes—alongside those in Kolkata, Bhopal, and Chennai—established by the Department of Education, Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD), Government of India. These institutes were set up as fully centrally funded autonomous institutions with the mandate of providing pre-service and in-service training to teachers and staff of Degree and Diploma level training institutions. They were also tasked with conducting various activities related to quality improvement of the technical education system of the country. In 2003, the Government of India accorded national status to the Chandigarh institute, along with its three sister institutes, in recognition of their contribution and expert service rendered for the overall improvement of the quality of the technical education system in India.
