India, with its rapidly growing economy, faces a critical challenge regarding bridging the skill gap in the labour force. To address this issue and to create a talent pool of industry-ready workforce, the Adani Group, one of the biggest companies in India, recently announced its partnership with ITE Education Services (ITEES) of Singapore. Under this partnership, Adani will donate more than Rs 2000 crore to build the Adani Global Skills Academy with ITEES. The schools aimed to build a skilled talent pipeline for serving industries across the spectrum, including green energy, manufacturing, hi-tech, project excellence and industrial design.
This donation is inspired by his social philosophy of “Seva Sadhna Hai, Seva Prarthna Hai, Aur Seva Parmatma Hai.”
Adani to Establish Internationally Benchmarked Schools of Excellence.
The Adani Group’s Rs. 2,000 crore investment to establish internationally benchmarked schools of excellence aligns with its broader plans to invest Rs 10,000 crore in various social projects with skill development being a key focus. Adani Global Skills Academy will train young people in different skills, especially in fields like green energy, manufacturing technology, and industrial design, providing equal opportunities to all.
The focus will be on high-demand sectors like renewable energy, logistics, infrastructure, and digital technology – industries that are crucial to India’s growth trajectory.
Gautam Adani, the Chairman of the Adani Group, announced that the group is setting up the world’s largest and state-of-the-art finishing school in Mundra, Gujarat. This state-of-the-art facility will blend AI-driven immersive learning with cutting-edge innovation centres, and annually train more than 25,000 learners to help accelerate the ‘Make in India’ movement,”.
A Big Step for the Future
The students at the Adani Global Skills Academy will be shortlisted from technical and vocational education backgrounds across India, with a focus on aligning their skills to specific industries. Post completing the program, learners will get certificates, which will give them the chance to work with the Adani Group as well as the broader industry, depending on their role and field of training.
Such initiatives are aimed at helping people who struggle to find jobs post completing their education. With this academy, students get a fair chance not just to acquire new skills but also to have a clear path to employment.
A New Era for Skill Development in India
The INR 2,000 crore investment by the Adani family represents more than just financial support. It is the group’s commitment towards the development of the nation. By addressing the pressing need for skilled labour, this initiative will help India keep pace with global industrial demands. As a result, millions of youth across India will have access to the tools they need to secure stable, well-paying jobs and build successful careers.
In the future, we can expect to see significant transformations in India’s workforce as skill development programs like these can prove to be a game changer for the country. The Adani Group’s initiative could very well be the catalyst that changes the face of skill development in India, setting the stage for a more inclusive, prosperous future for the country.
