     "Ever since its inception, in 1963, as a Wing of the Central Scientific Instruments Organization, in collaboration with Swiss Foundation for Technical Assistance, the Indo Swiss Training Centre at Chandigarh has been setting Standards of excellence in skill formation. Dedicated to the nation by its first Prime Minister, Pt. Jawahar Lal Nehru, the Institute has since dedicated itself to imparting skills which not only make its graduates, extremely sought after in the job market, it also makes them assets to the nation and contributors to its building.

I am glad to learn that the Centre has moved to keep abrest of the latest technology in the world and upgrade its training programs and equipments accordingly. I am confident, this fine institution will continue to be in the forefront of our effort to enter the 21st Century as a nation second to none in any area. "

The interest in this important realization has been continuing to this day. The success of the Centre can be measured by the position held by now by the old students of the Centre throughout India. It is a subject of pride for our own technicians who have been so closely associated with this remarkable enterprise."
