Information Technology is fast emerging as the single largest avenue for both formal and self-employment. While this means increased employment opportunities for the general youth, a significantly large segment of the population remains out of reckoning. This in particular includes the large but distributed tribal population of India.

The digital divide is but a newer form of the divide that has always existed. All of us know that the tribes have remained an isolated segment of our society often lacking in educational or employment opportunities. The conception of Information Technology Institute for the Tribes of India (ITITI) aims at remedying this to some extent.
