Established in 1960, ORT India has provided vocational training to the community from its Mumbai base, serving people from a range of backgrounds from preschool to adulthood.
A computer centre, established by ORT in 1987, offered courses from basic computer literacy to web design and video editing. Vocational computer-based training was also provided to the Bnei Menashe readying those wanting to make aliyah for a new life in Israel and improving the employability of those who chose to stay.
ORT India also runs the Jewish Education Resource Center, providing guidance and information on Judaism to all members of the community.
