Don Bosco Chinchwad hosted the signing of the EV Training Project on 4 th November 2023.
Present at the occasion were representatives and delegates from the four Salesian institutions
who have partnered in the project: Don Bosco Walvanda, Don Bosco Aurangabad, Don Bosco
Kurla and Don Bosco Chinchwad.
The project is a groundbreaking venture in the technical sector of the Salesian Province of
Mumbai so as to help young people prepare themselves for the 21 st Century job market. The
initial planning for the project began two years ago and has been brought to fruition through a
collaborative venture of the Province along with Don Bosco Mondo and the BMZ of the German
Government.
At its core, the project's primary goal is to skill and empower young individuals, particularly
those from marginalized backgrounds, in the burgeoning E-Mobility sector. Notably, a significant
emphasis is placed on empowering women in this domain through tailored training and job
placement opportunities. The broader objective remains the promotion of a greener environment
by advocating for the adoption of E-vehicles.
Apart from the training and skill development that will be imparted for the students, the project
also includes an environmental awareness program for children and youngsters to help raise
the issue of global warning and promote a sustainable lifestyle.
During the project signing ceremony, Mr. Amarr Prabhu explained to those present the purpose,
scope and aim of the project. They also briefly described the various roles and responsibilities of
the delegated individuals that would ensure a smooth follow-up of the project. The presentation
included the division of the students that each student should aim to reach out to. Mr. Prabhu
also mentioned that over the period of the project development, various courses would be
added to help expand the placement possibilities for the various studies.
In conclusion, the inauguration of the EV Training Project marks a significant milestone in the
Salesian institutions' dedication to empowering the youth for the future. It stands not only as a
training initiative but as a beacon of hope, aimed at fostering sustainable practices, gender
equality, and technological advancement in the dynamic landscape of the E-Mobility sector. The
commitment and collaborative spirit showcased in this initiative promise a brighter, greener, and
more inclusive future for the youth and the environment they will inherit.
