Committed to give the best to the students, St Aloysius Industrial Training Institute keeps upgrading its training facilities. Latest addition to this is the Welder workshop.

During the formal programme, Silvana Rizzi- chief guest said, “I have been associated with this institution from a long time. I am impressed by the commitment the institution shows in empowering the rural and under-privileged youth by providing state of art technical education. I believe in this institution and its dedication. Every time I visit this institution, I see something better. This institution is growing year by year. I wish all the students a very bright future.”
In the beginning, Dr Leo Dsouza SJ- former director of the institution introduced the chief guest to the students and said, “ Silvana Rizzi is a noble hearted person who is actively involved in helping the under-privileged.

Let us draw inspiration from her and learn to give back to society in whatever way we can.”
