The Mahindra Tractor Skill Development Centre at Gadchiroli, Maharashtra, was virtually opened today by the Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi, from Mumbai. By giving young people in rural areas industry-relevant skills, this historic project hopes to empower them and open up new job opportunities in the area. In order to promote rural skill development and economic growth in India, Mahindra Tractors, the country’s top tractor brand, partnered with the Department of Vocational Education & Training (DVET) and the Maharashtra State Skill Development Society (MSSDS) to establish this skill development centre at Government ITI College in Gadchiroli.

The programme is in line with the country’s emphasis on skill development as a means of utilising India’s distinct demographic advantage. The new centre’s main goals are to improve local lives and give Gadchiroli’s kids industry-ready skills. Mahindra will contribute unparalleled industry experience in tractors and farm machinery, along with a dedication to quality, through the Tractor Skill Development Centre in Gadchiroli. This is made possible by a well-organised curriculum that is taught by top-notch instructors, giving young people in rural areas access to the newest technology tools and practical experience in a range of tractor-related skills.

The hub opens doors for a variety of professional paths throughout the ecosystem, such as sales and service positions at dealerships and assembly positions at manufacturing facilities. “We at Mahindra are extremely honoured that our Hon. Prime Minister Narendra Modi opened the Mahindra Tractor Skill Development Centre in Gadchiroli,” said Veejay Nakra, President of Farm Equipment Business at Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd. In addition to being a major industrial hub, Maharashtra is a state closely linked to the development of the farm sector. We are extremely proud to be working with the Maharashtra government to build a future in which our rural communities are improved by developing skills and harvesting hope.
