&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Nettur Technical Training Foundation&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;  with campuses all over  [[India]].  It operates in more than 20 training centers, located at [[Bangalore]], [[Baddi]], [[Bellary]], [[Coimbatore]], [[Dharwad]], [[Gannavaram]], [[Gopalpur-Odisha]], [[Hyderabad]], [[Jamshedpur]], [[Kumbakonam]], [[Kuttippuram]], [[Malappuram]], [[Murbad]], [[Tellicherry]], [[Tuticorin]], [[Vadakkencherry]] and [[Vellore]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==History==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:NTTF_Tellichery.jpg|thumb|220px|right|NTTF Technical Training Centre, [[Nettur]], [[Tellicherry]] ([[Kerala]])]]&lt;br /&gt;
The Nettur Technical Training Foundation- successor to the CSI Technical Training Institute - was established on 12 April 1958 as a joint venture between [[Church of South India]] and HEKS (Hilfswerk der Evangelischen Kirchen der Schweiz), [[Switzerland]], with the objective of promoting technical education. Per HEKS website, the initial funds for the project was raised as offertory collections from the regional established churches in Zürich, Aargau, Basel and Schaffhausen.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
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. The first batch appeared for NCTVT (National Council for Training in Vocational Trades, presently known as [https://ncvtmis.gov.in/pages/home.aspx NCVT]) in January 1962 and completed the four-year course in 1964. The initial plan was to keep the duration of training to 3.5 years, but the same was later extended to four years from the very first batch.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Alfred Frischknecht, Swiss technical expert, was the first appointee of the HEKS to establish the first training Centre at Nettur, Kerala. He was the first principal of the Nettur centre. After seven years in India, he joined HEKS headquarters in Zürich, Switzerland to be in charge of development projects.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was realised from its inception that the institution would be a costly one to set up and still costlier to maintain. The Church of South India placed some of its land and buildings at [[Nettur]], [[Tellicherry]] at the disposal of the institute. Some buildings were reconditioned and a few new ones were constructed by NTTF. The donor agencies assured the necessary funds, supply of adequate machine tools and accessories and deputation of technical experts from abroad.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1964 saw the establishment of a training centre in Dharwad, Karnataka again on property donated by the CSI church of Karnataka. Another center was established in the same year in Vellore, Tamil Nadu. The headquarters was moved to Peenya, Bangalore after the establishment of a toolroom and training center in 1978.&lt;br /&gt;
