Coal India Limited (CIL) has entered into a Memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC) for the “Setting up of Multi Skill Development Institutes (MSDIs)”.
As agreed in the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), one MSDI will be set up in each subsidiary with CCL, BCCL, MCL, NCL & SECL covered in the first phase, and the remaining subsidiaries in the second phase.
The existing infrastructure available at CIL subsidiaries will be developed as MSDIs. The project will cover one-time capex for repurposing of existing infrastructure as MSDIs and Recurring & Project Monitoring Unit (PMU) expenses per year.
This initiative underscores CIL’s commitment to fostering skill development and creating sustainable employment for local youth in coal-bearing areas. The project will help the youth of command areas get market-oriented skill training and enter into formal sector employment/entrepreneurship.
The skilling is a focal point for both the Government of India and CIL’s CSR activities, underscoring CIL’s commitment to empowering communities.
Looking at the shortage of skill training centers in coal-bearing areas, it is very important to train youth from these areas to find alternative sources of livelihood.
