The Indian economy has been passing through a trajectory of high growth for several years. The overall Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is estimated to grow at 8.9% with the agriculture and allied sectors projected to grow at 3.6 %. Despite the fact that Rural India, with almost 74% of the population, has much to offer to the world by way of its rich traditions in arts, crafts and culture, it has not kept pace with Urban India, due to topographical constraints, inadequate infrastructure and insufficiently trained human resource.

Keeping in view the need to bring the rural youth, especially belonging to the lower strata of rural society, to the level of their urban counterparts, Centre for Integrated Rural Development (CIRD) of ITFT Education Group is working with a Mission:

"To provide opportunity to the rural youth, especially, youth belonging to lower strata of rural society for
skill development to make them employable in the fast developing Service Industry and in other economic activities"

ITFT Education Group through its various skill development training initiatives and research activities, targets to upgrade the knowledge & skills of Rural Youth to bring them in the main stream of the Country after providing them with the skills required among rural youth towards their employment generation and entrepreneurship. It is a Centre of Excellence for Rural Development Training and Research & Caters to every facility required for the students/trainees/ researchers, form India and abroad.
