The Skill Development Centre aims to enhance the skills of community members
Anyone in the community can enrol and gain relevant skills for employability
The Skill Development Centre will train 600-720 candidates annually
The Dr. Vijay Kumar Datla Foundation, the CSR arm of Biological E. Limited, in collaboration with the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) and the Government of Telangana, is pleased to announce the inauguration of the Biological E. Limited (BE) Skill Development Centre here at Bollaram today. This landmark initiative is dedicated to enhancing the skills of community members, particularly the unemployed youth, through a range of free and industry-relevant training programmes designed to empower individuals and promote sustainable livelihood opportunities.
The Skill Development Centre is prepared to offer free training and vocational skill development programmes in high-demand areas such as Pharma, Tailoring, Fashion Designing, Beauty & Wellness, Digital Communication (IT/ITES), and Retailing. The local youth can enrol in these programmes to become employable. Each training programme lasts three months. Each course is supported by implementation partners with trained and certified instructors. For vocational courses, no specific qualification is required, while industrial courses are open to those who have completed at least the 10th grade, ITI, Diploma, or have graduated.
The Skill Development Centre also offers free crèche services to mothers participating in training and skill development programmes, allowing them to leave their children in a safe environment and concentrate on their training and skill development.
Dr. Trishanya Raju, Managing Trustee, the Dr. Vijay Kumar Datla Foundation, expressed, “This Centre is a testament to our commitment to empowering communities through skill development. We are delighted to collaborate with the GHMC, the Government of Telangana, and our partners to provide training and skills to unemployed youth, ensuring sustainable livelihoods and strengthening our communities. Empowering the community through skill development is a transformative journey, not just a mission. At the Biological E. Limited Skill Development Centre, we transform potential into opportunity, promoting sustainable growth and brighter future for all.’’
The Dr. Vijay Kumar Datla Foundation has renovated the GHMC's vacant Model Market Building, creating classrooms, a canteen, a counselling room, pharmaceutical training labs, and a 16-seater computer lab for IT/ITES training. The Skill Development Centre will train around 180 candidates across all courses each quarter, totalling an estimated 600-720 candidates annually.
