HISTORY OF ACADEMY Established in 1953 as Village Agriculture and Industrial Development (VILLAGE-AID) Training Institute to train multipurpose base level workers of the then V-AID program, such as Development Officers, Supervisors and V-AID Workers. The course duration range was 3 months - 1 year for different categories. In total training was imparted to 998 participants of different categories through 6 courses. Re-designated as Basic Democracies Training Institute (BDTI) in 1960 and entrusted responsibility to train officials and elected members/office bearers of Urban and Rural Local Councils. The training was imparted to Development Officers, Supervisors, Secretaries Union Councils, Urban Local Council Officers and Elected Representatives. In total training was imparted to 7167 participants of various categories through 128 courses. Renamed as Local Govt. Training Institute in 1972 and made responsible for training the functionaries of Peoples Works Programme (PWP), such as Development Officers, Supervisors, Secretaries Union Councils, Sub Engineers, Urban Local Councils Officers, Sanitary Inspectors and Functionaries of other concerned Departments. In total training was imparted to 3543 participants of various categories through 95 courses. From 1979 to mid 2001, Local Govt. Training Institute (LGTI) was responsible for training of functionaries of LG & RD department, Local Council Service (BS 5 to 17) and the Chairmen/Vice Chairmen/Councillors of the Local Councils. The training was imparted to the various categories of participants such as ADLGs, Project Managers, Project Assistants, Accounts Clerks, Secretaries Union Councils, Sub Engineers, Local Councils Chief Officers, Taxation Officers, Sanitary Inspectors, Elected Representatives, and Sanitation Promoters under UNICEF Sanitation Programme. In total training was imparted to 8455 participants of various categories through 396 in-campus courses and 12122 participants through 329 off-campus courses. The institute remained the focus of various trainings from 1979 to 1984 as all development was entrusted to the Local Councils so these institutions were given much importance during this period. With the start of 1985, the members of both National and Provincial Assemblies were elected, therefore, the local councils were put at second priority. This resulted to the situation that from 1985 to mid 2001, the working of the institute was confined to the limited activities. Only minor courses on regular basis were organized in which newly recruited Officers/Officials such as Project Managers, Chief Officers, Secretary Town Committees, Project Assistants, Accounts Clerks and Secretaries Union Councils were the participants. From 1981-2001in collaboration with UNICEF Punjab LGTI have conducted In-Campus and Off-Campus courses on Water and Environmental Sanitation (WES), Adult Literacy and Registration of Birth through out Punjab.
