NLI Guntur is the First Training Centre started by NVS. It was a donation to our NVS given by Smt.Konda Parvathi Devi, former MLC, and daughter of freedom fighter “Desha Bhakta” Konda Venkatappaiah Pantulu. Till date, more than 200 training courses were conducted in this NLI. Mahatma Gandhi, Annebesant, Vallabhai Patel, Nehru, Durga Bhai Deshmukh and many other legendaries stayed in this building and prepared salt on this campus during Salt Satyagraha movement. Many conferences, seminars and meetings were organized in this historical building during the freedom movement.
Training is an important aspect of staff skill upgradation to help them to reach higher levels of attainment through innovation and experimentation. It is a plannedprocess to modify attitude, knowledge, or skill through learning experience. It helps the people to learn quickly and effectively to realise organizational goals.
Excellent resource faculty are available in Guntur which is popularly known as the Education Hub of South India. With minimal infrastructural facilities trainings are conducted successfully in this NLI and the feedback of the trainees speaks about the quality of the training imparted.
There is an immense need to protect this historical monument, the “Desha Bhakta Bhavan” which is having 100 years of history and located in the Heart of Guntur City providing a walking distance for any need of the trainees who stay here and having good connectivity to bus/train/flight. The present market value of the building is more than Rs.10 crores. It can be developed to meet all the present day requirements of the 21st century e-classroom as it has enough space for the construction of a multi – storied building. It serves as a great gesture of combining the tradition with modernity.
