Carmel Vocational Training Institute, Bidar

The success story of Vijaymari Technical Institute induced the Province of Karnataka to have another Technical School in the remote area of Bidar, Northern Karnataka, where many young girls and women lacked direction.  Through the generosity of Manos Unidas, Spain a building was put up and Carmel Vocational Training Institute was inaugurated on 27 April 1999 by Sister M. Linette A.C., the then Provincial Superior.  Sister Christine Misquith the founder Principal with her dynamic leadership guided the growth of this Institution. The courses offered were Computer Education, Shorthand, Typewriting, Secretarial Practice and Tailoring.

Carmel Vocational Training Institute is accredited as the Study Centre of NIOS, New Delhi.  The students have the facility to pursue a Two-Year Vocational Course after S.S.L.C.  Academically the students after SSLC can either pursue PUC or go through NIOS or do the technical courses.  Through ORBIT (Organization for Bidar Integral Transformation) the students are empowered in enhancing the quality leadership by their involvement in the various ministries like Prison Ministry, SHGs etc.  

Remedial classes for the dropouts have given hope for many of the students who otherwise would not have continued their studies.  The staff of CVTI continually assists the students to improve their language skills and discipline.  Residential facilities offered for both the staff and students have enabled them to grow in a culture of adjustment, cooperation and team work.  CVTI which had a small beginning has many success stories recounted by the students passed out through the portals of CVTI.  The founder Principal Sister Christine Misquith’s effort for the growth of the Institute is really praise worthy!
