Hon’ble Minister for Urban Development, Mr. Kamal Nath will be laying the foundation stone for the CII Skills Training Park in Chhindwara on March 10, 2011. Mr. Hari Bhartia, President CII and Mr. Chandrajit Banerjee, the Director General of CII, alongwith industry leaders will grace the occasion.
The upcoming training park will have more than 10 companies setting up training facilities in various trades, such as construction, engineering, farm and automobile that will equip the local youth of Chhindwara in industry relevant trades. Larsen & Toubro, JCB, Toyota Kirloskar Motor, Cummins India, Shapoorji Pallonji, Caterpillar, GMMCO, GMR Varalaxmi Foundation, Mahindra& Mahindra and Schneider Electric are among the prominent companies who will be involved directly in training the local youth. The facilities in the premises, include a hostel, besides the teaching block and workshop sheds that have the capacity to train over 1600 youth in a year. It will attract aspiring youth from far flung areas who can stay and train in industry trades using training equipments from industry and under industry trainers.
In 2008, CII set up a skills training centre in the premises of Western Coalfields Ltd. Companies like Punj Lloyd, JCB, Larsen & Toubro and Toyota Kirloskar Motors trained more than 700 local youth in various trades. Many of them found employment and some undertook self employment. Growing demand for this training has prompted the need for an elaborate and state-of-the art training facility in Chhindwara.
