Minister Vijay launched electrical laboratories worth Rs 5.1 crore across 30 vocational training institutes, aiming to boost skill development in the sector.
Vijay, a senior government official, formally inaugurated a series of state‑funded electrical laboratories spread over thirty vocational institutes. The launch marks a significant investment of Rs 5.1 crore aimed at strengthening technical education infrastructure.
The newly equipped labs are expected to provide hands‑on training for students pursuing electrical and electronics trades, addressing the growing demand for skilled technicians in India’s expanding manufacturing and power sectors.
By establishing these facilities across a wide network of institutes, the initiative seeks to create uniform standards of practical learning, improve employability, and support the government’s broader skill‑development agenda.
Stakeholders from the education department, industry representatives, and institute heads attended the ceremony, underscoring the collaborative effort behind the project.
The rollout will be monitored for its impact on enrollment numbers and job placement rates, with plans to replicate the model in other regions if successful.
