Rajasthan has three Panchayat Training Centers located at Ajmer, Dungarpur, and Mandore (Jodhpur) and their Training Programmes are coordinated by the SIRD Rajasthan. These centers are mainly engaged in the capacity development of the Gram Sevaks and in recent years have also been training Junior Engineers and Panchayat Extension Officers. In the years 2008 -10, the 3 PTC's carried out one month long foundation course for around 1,000 newly recruited Gram Sevaks. S.I.R.D. along with its own training calendar also prepares the training calendar for these training centers. S.I.R.D. also prepares their recurring and non recurring proposals and forwards the same to GOI for sanction.

Govt. of India provides liberal financial assistance to these centers under the recurring and non-recurring heads. The centers are being provided with modern training aids so as to make them ultra modern for providing such trainings for the sector through the help of Govt. of India and State Institute of Rural Development.

Proposals for opening district wise Panchayat Training Centers are also under consideration with the Government of India which would enable Rural Development Department and IGPRS to provide trainings more efficiently at the grass root level.
