History
NTTF Technical Training Centre, Nettur, Tellicherry (Kerala)

On 12 April 1958, the Nettur Technical Training Foundation, the successor to the CSI Technical Training Institute, was established as a joint venture between Church of South India and HEKS (Hilfswerk der Evangelischen Kirchen der Schweiz) of Switzerland. According to HEKS's website, the project's initial funds were raised from regional established churches in Zürich, Aargau, Basel and Schaffhausen.

On 24 November 1959, Mr. Kaderkutty, managing director of Western India Plywoods, Valapattanam, formally inaugurated the training center at Nettur. The first batch of tool and die-maker trainees, 16 boys, were admitted in November 1959. They subsequently appeared for NCTVT (National Council for Training in Vocational Trades, presently known as NCVT) in January 1962 and completed the four-year course in 1964. The initial plan was a 3.5-year training period, but it was extended to four years, which remains in effect today.

Swiss technical expert Alfred Frischknecht was HEKS' first appointee to principal of the Nettur centre. After seven years in India, he relocated to HEKS's headquarters in Zürich, Switzerland to direct development projects.

It was realised from its inception that the institution would be costly to set up and maintain. The Church of South India placed some of its land and buildings at Nettur, Tellicherry at the institute's disposal. Some buildings were reconditioned and a few new ones were built by NTTF. The donor agencies assured the necessary funds, supplies of adequate machine tools and accessories, and deputation of technical experts from abroad.

1964 another training centre was established in Dharwad, Karnataka, again on property donated by the CSI church of Karnataka; and another center was established the same year in Vellore, Tamil Nadu. The centre's headquarters was moved to Peenya, Bangalore after the establishment of a toolroom and training center there in 1978.
