It will be an important contributor to achieving the vision of a trillion-dollar manufacturing economy for India.”
“As I learnt that RCPSDC is developing some qualification packs for chemical and petrochemical vertical, the training programs would be focused more on live-project and on-job training methodology so, the students are readily deployable as per the requirement of the industry. RCPSDC has developed a path that helps individual to get trained and certified in appropriate skills leading to employment opportunity in collaboration with industry,” he added.
