OSTI has been established aiming to provide quality service, training, research and consultancy service to its clients. Its key thrust is to contribute on nation building through technical capacity building of the youths. The reports show that 72 percent of the youths engaged in foreign employment are unskilled, and they are facing various problems including life insecurity, low income and dignity issues. Similarly, availability of trained and capable youths is very nominal for the domestic labor market. Therefore, providing government accredited technical short-term training to the youths is the first area of intervention.

The local government authorities have been changed into local government after the political restructuration of Nepal. The local governments have executive, legislative and judicial rights as well. Therefore, the elected representatives and local bureaucracy are responsible to execute the rights and responsibilities provided by the Constitution and Local Government Operation Act (LGOA). Likewise, LGs need to prepare legislations in the areas of single authority and areas of concurrent jurisdictions, prepare plans and execute them. The LGs need expert support for execution of the special assignments.

The socio-economic issues have been changed; and needs also have been reprioritized. Issues of rights and inclusion of the minorities, children, women and People With Disabilities (PWDs) have come to priority.  Along with the practice of local government, gaps have been seen in the areas of research, technical guidance and knowledge management. Therefore, Om Sai Technical Institute have redefined its areas of service and expertise.
