Maharashtra Govt to Establish Skill Centre in Aurangabad.

A new 20,000 sq ft skill development centre is set to be established at the Aurangabad Industrial City (AURIC) in Maharashtra, the Commerce and Industry Ministry announced on Sunday.

This initiative, aimed at enhancing the region's industrial capabilities, will be a collaborative effort with the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII). A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for this partnership is expected to be signed next week.

Amardeep Singh Bhatia, Secretary in the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT), underscored the importance of this development. He emphasized the need to attract Global Capability Centres (GCCs) and Research and Development (R&D) centres to AURIC. Such additions, Bhatia noted, would further strengthen the region's innovation and industrial ecosystem, contributing to its overall growth and competitiveness.

The new skill development centre is anticipated to play a crucial role in providing the local workforce with the necessary expertise to meet the demands of modern industries, thereby fostering employment opportunities and attracting further investment into AURIC.
