National Institute of Industrial Engineering (NITIE), an autonomous body under the Ministry of Human Resource and Development (MHRD), was established by Government of India in 1963 under the aegis of United Nations Development Project (UNDP) and International Labour Organisation (ILO). The main purpose behind its set up was to enhance the productivity of various industries across the country through the supply of trained and efficient manpower.

The Institute teaches materials management, work studies, inventory control, shop floor management and personnel management to India’s industry professionals. Today, the institute is counted as one of the leading management education providers in the country. Every year, nearly 2000 professionals enroll in its various programmes.

However, imparting education is not the sole task carried out by NITIE. The institute also provides industrial consultancy and publishes a quarterly magazine named UDYOG PRAGATI: The Journal for Practising, comprising of articles pertaining to the developments in the field of industrial engineering besides it.
