Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi of India virtually inaugurated Mahindra Tractor’s Skill Development Centre in Gadchiroli, Maharashtra. This landmark initiative aims to empower rural youth by equipping them with industry-relevant skills, paving the way for new avenues for employment in the region.

Mahindra Tractors established this Skill Development Centre at Government ITI college, Gadchiroli, in partnership with the Department of Vocational Education & Training (DVET), and the Maharashtra State Skill Development Society (MSSDS) to advance India’s rural skilling and economic growth.

The initiative aligns with India’s focus on skill development. The new center focuses on equipping the youth of Gadchiroli, with industry-ready skills, while also boosting local livelihoods.

Through the Tractor Skill Development Centre in Gadchiroli, Mahindra will bring industry expertise in tractor and farm machinery, together with a commitment to quality. This is made possible through a structured curriculum, delivered by qualified trainers providing rural youth access to modern technical equipment and hands-on experience in various aspects of tractor-related skills. The center paves the way for career opportunities, including assembly roles at manufacturing plants and sales and service roles at dealership locations.

Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Veejay Nakra, President of Mahindra’s Farm Equipment Business said: “We at Mahindra are honoured that our Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi inaugurated the Mahindra Tractor Skill Development Centre in Gadchiroli. Maharashtra is not just a leading industrial center, but a state that is deeply connected to the farm sectors growth journey. It is a matter of pride for us to partner with the Government of Maharashtra, creating a future where our rural communities are uplifted by cultivating skills and harvesting hope.”
