Skill India gained prominence after the honourable Prime Minister of India created a separate portfolio. Many orgnizations, big or small, public or private alike joined the band wagon and created their bit towards creating "Skill India".
At Kemppi, we were not left behind. As a part of the welding industry we foresee a dearth of skilled welders in India. The Indian Institute of Welding forecasts a requirement of 500000 welders for Indian in the next 5 years. Kemppi in India has been supporting 18 colleges and universities for developing 'welding skill' in India.
Together with Hindustan Petroleum we took a step not towards "skilling" but towards "rehabilitation". This is a unique and noble way. The project was taken up at Rajmuhndry Central Prison to train the inmates in welding. This would help them to get going in the society once they come out.
Exciting as the program was - Kemppi partnered HPCL in making this happen. This was quite successful as many inmates opted for the course and feel confident to make a living out of 'welding'.
The road does not end there. We have taken another project at Vishakhapatnam Central Prison. The idea was not only skilling but creating a future livelihood. More than that it was a mean to "rehabilitate"; bringing the 'outcasts' back to the main stream of society with dignity.
Kemppi India continues its journey of creating "dignity" ....Join us to make the travel an exciting one.
