According to directives issued by MNRE, the government will implement a training program to fill skills gaps in the fast-growing green hydrogen sector. According to MNRE, the scheme will include a thorough skill gap analysis, a register of skills needed, and curriculum development for schools, ITIs, polytechnics and HEIs.
The ministry emphasizes learner-centric training programs to be developed in consultation with the Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship (MSDE).
Key objectives include the facilitation of one or more model Centres of Excellence (CoEs) for higher-level skilling, and support content creation on the Green Hydrogen ecosystem. The program will deploy training that includes placement tracking, targeting diverse educational institutions and encouraging private sector participation, especially for On-the-Job Training (OJT).
According to the ministry, the implementing agency for this scheme will be notified by MNRE in consultation with MSDE. The green light for the program comes with the approval of the Minister of power and new and renewable energy, Mr. R. K. Singh.
