TPCODL opens skill development centre to upskill its rural workforce

Bhubaneswar, Sept 5 (KNN) The TP Central Odisha Distribution Limited (TPCODL) has setup its first skill development centre in Bhubaneswar to provide its employees with technical training and exposure to new practices in the power distribution sector.

The centre will play an important role in the skill development of its rural workforce. Necessary training to learn new practices and technologies will be provided in order to sharpen their overall skill sets.

After opening its first centre, the company is now planning to open one such centre each for the other four electricity circles under its licensed area of operation for knowledge and skill upgradation.

Skill Development Centre set up at Sainik School Primary Sub Station is the first of its kind in Odisha to set a benchmark for the upcoming centres. The centre is designed to cater for all types of technical and safety-related skills and practices in distribution operations where people can see the equipment with their bare eyes and take real-life training.

Speaking about the centre, Praveer Sinha, MD & CEO, Tata Power, said “Our organisational culture has always been technology driven and upskilling employees becomes imperative to this culture. I congratulate team TPCODL for this initiative. Aligning all safety practices with the required knowledge will help all our employees to ensure a robust power supply within the state.”

“Upgrading our skill sets on a regular basis is of utmost importance for us to ensure reliable power supply and better customer service.  To serve our customers the best, our workforce needs to be equipped with the best-in-class skill set,” he said.

This skill centre will significantly help in the overall development of the company.  (KNN Bureau)
