New Delhi: The Live Cool, Live Green 2.0 landmark showcases LCLG’s cubic constructions. The hanging cloths that were on show for this event’s theme represent the life cycle of a piece of cloth, from its manufacture to its eventual disposal as a result of rapid fashion and subpar materials. With this display, NanoTextile hopes to inspire participants to take concrete measures towards a cleaner future while educating them about the fashion industry’s environmental impact.

Because of growing demand for environmentally friendly transportation options and technical improvements, the electric vehicle (EV) market in India is expected to grow significantly. Seeing this chance, ASDC created “Nayi Raah” to meet the industry’s increasing demand for knowledgeable EV technicians. The course will give participants thorough instruction in EV upkeep, repair, and service, giving them the technical know-how and practical experience they need to succeed in this fast-paced industry.

According to FR Singhvi, President of ASDC, “Nayi Raah represents a critical step towards building a skilled workforce capable of supporting India’s transition to electric mobility.” Through specialised training, we empower people to close the skills gap and pave the road for fulfilling careers in the electric vehicle sector.

ASDC, a leader in automotive skill development, works to improve youth employability by offering training programmes that are in line with industry standards. To make sure that its programmes satisfy the changing needs of the industry, ASDC works closely with government agencies, training partners, and automakers. It places a strong emphasis on practical skills and certifications that are pertinent to the sector.

SIDBI’s support underscores the importance of public-private partnerships in driving socio-economic development through skill enhancement initiatives. This collaboration not only funds the training but also enables ASDC to implement robust curriculum frameworks and provide state-of-the-art training facilities for the participants.

Participants in the “Nayi Raah” program will undergo rigorous training modules covering EV technology fundamentals, diagnostic techniques, battery management systems, and safety protocols. Practical training sessions will be complemented by industry internships and on-the-job training opportunities, ensuring holistic skill development and readiness for the workplace. All trainees will further be trained at TATA bus depots and employed at the 8 depots across Bangalore, providing them with real-world experience.

“At Tata Motors, we believe in empowering the future workforce with the right skills to navigate the evolving landscape of electric mobility,” said Mr. Srinivas Dhanankar, GM Head of Tenders and Purchase at Tata Motors. “We are proud to support the ‘Nayi Raah’ initiative, which aligns with our commitment to sustainability and community development. Training at our bus depots will offer participants invaluable hands-on experience, preparing them for successful careers in the EV sector.”

Shri Sandeep Varma, Chief Executive Officer of CGTMSE and Vertical Head of the Programmes for Development and Impact Vertical Initiatives of SIDBI, shared his thoughts on this initiative: “At SIDBI, we believe in the transformative power of skill development. ‘Nayi Raah’ exemplifies our commitment to fostering inclusive growth by providing underprivileged individuals with the skills they need to thrive in the evolving EV sector.
