Assam government and Tata collaborate to establish a skill development centre in Jagiroad

The Assam government, in collaboration with Tata, plans to establish a Skill Development Centre in Jagiroad. 

In a statement, Assam's Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma confirmed the decision, stating that the centre would be situated within the premises of the upcoming semiconductor facility. 

The centre aims to empower North-Eastern youths by offering courses in Artificial Intelligence, semiconductors, and electronics, further assisting them in securing employment at the Jagiroad unit. 

It is reported that 1,500 Assamese youths, primarily women, are already receiving training at Tata facilities in Bangalore. 

This training is expected to equip these individuals for leadership roles once the semiconductor facility becomes operational in 2025.
