Our country suffers from a shortage of trained manpower in almost all industries. The same is the case with the automobile industry. There is a large gap between the requirement and availability of trained labour. The government under its ‘Skill India Mission’ is trying to set up centres where people of any age can learn a certain skill, which will help reduce unemployment and poverty. Honda Motorcycle and Scooter aims to uphold the idea of skill India mission. HMSI today inaugurated its 1st Skill Enhancement Centre in Rajasthan in collaboration with Government Industrial Training Institute (ITI), Jodhpur.

Official Statement
Mr Pradeep Pandey, Senior Vice President – Customer Service, Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India Pvt.

The BS-VI emission norms have raised the demand of skilled technical manpower in the automobile sector. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, students could not get hands-on practical training. HMSI’s first Skill Enhancement Centre in Rajasthan at Jodhpur will provide an improved facility to recoup for the practical training while ensuring all safety protocols. Further, we will continue to inaugurate more centres in other parts of the country.”
