Tata Power along with the Tata Power Community Development Trust, inaugurated its fourth Tata Power Skill Development Institute (TPSDI), a centre for power plant skills at Mundra to provide increased access to its courses to the members of disadvantaged sections of the society.
A CSR initiative, the Tata Power Skill Development Institute (TPSDI) was established in 2015 by Tata Power with a dual motive i.e. to empower youth and others with employable skills, especially in the Power and allied sectors as well as to address the skill gap challenge faced by the Industry. This initiative has benefited more than 1500 people till date.
Speaking on the event, Anil Sardana, CEO & MD, Tata Power, said “The Indian Economy is one of the fastest growing economies of the world, which results in increased demand for skilled workforce in various sectors. India has one of the highest number of people in the world who fall in the working age group. However, we are at a disadvantage as a very large chunk this human resource lacks employable skills due to lack of education, training facilities, and quality vocational training. This places a significant entry barrier to the job market and impedes career growth. The Tata Power Skill Development Institute has been commissioned to equip India’s workforce with the required employable skills and knowledge so that it can contribute to the growth of the country’s economy and thereby improve their economic condition.
