In line with the government’s aggressive plans under the Skill India Mission, we at Tata Motors are constantly increasing our efforts on skill development programs, for an agile and future-ready workforce. Our focus is to drive skilling of young boys and girls in the automotive domain and enhance their employability within India and other countries. With humility, we accept this award for recognition of our contribution towards skill development, and will continue to move on this path towards many such endeavors in the future," said Gajendra Chandel, CHRO – Tata Motors.  

As part of the skill development initiative, Tata Motors is also working towards promoting gender diversity in auto manufacturing & service sectors. Addressing the automotive skill challenges, the company focuses on skilling school drop-outs and youth especially women, while enhancing global employability.
