ELTI: ELTI (English Language Teaching Institute) is a state-level institute for empowering English Language skills among teachers. 15 States across the Country have these institutions and are running successfully to strengthen English Medium Education in their schools. Government of India through English and Foreign Language Universities supports these institutes academically and financially.
Telangana Government is spending an amount of Rs. 15 Lakhs per annum by sending English Language Teachers to Regional Institute of English Bangalore for the purpose of strengthening English Language skills as we don’t have a State level Training Institute for in service teachers.

A team of English Language Teachers headed by District Educational Officer, Warangal visited English and Foreign Language University, Hyderabad and learnt about ELTI through professors and under their guidance it is proposed that as Warangal is upcoming Educational Hub it is recommended to have a State Level Training Centre.
ELTI Staff Pattern: As per the norms ELTI needs a building in an area of 2 to 3 Acres of land consisting 01 Director’s Chamber, Administrative Office, 05 Lecture Halls, 01 Audio-Visual Room, and 02 Boarding Hostels with an accommodation of 250 boarding.
