MCL to train 520 youths in Odisha under CSR skill development programme

Bhubaneswar, Sep 24 (UNI) Mahanadi Coalfields Limited (MCL) will strengthen the skill development ecosystem in Odisha by providing industry-oriented training to 520 candidates, with a special focus on youth, particularly women, from its operational and aspirational districts.
MCL has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Central Institute of Petrochemicals Engineering & Technology (CIPET), Bhubaneswar, to impart skill development training to the candidates under its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiative.
The programme, with a total outlay of Rs 3.52 crore, will provide specialised training in two trades—Plastics Processing and Injection Moulding.
The candidates will be selected primarily from MCL's operational districts and aspirational districts of Odisha, with a minimum of 30 per cent of the seats earmarked for women candidates.
A key focus of the programme is to ensure that skill training translates into sustainable employment opportunities. CIPET will facilitate placement for a minimum of 70 per cent of the trained candidates in relevant sectors.
The initiative is aimed at equipping local youth with industry-relevant skills and enhancing their employability while creating greater opportunities for women and communities in the districts where MCL operates.
