14 candidates to be trained in electrician and machinist trades in the first batch
Fourteen candidates will receive entry-level skill development training free of cost at the Signal and Telecommunication Workshop in Podanur under the Rail Kaushal Vikas Yojana (RKVY) initiative, which was launched across 75 centres by Union Minister of Railways Ashwini Vaishnaw on Friday.
This is one of the two railway workshops from Southern Railway that was selected for this initiative, the other being Carriage and Wagon Workshop at Perambur in Chennai.
An official from the Podanur workshop told The Hindu that the 14 candidates were mostly from rural backgrounds in Tamil Nadu and Kerala and will be provided training in two trades – electrician and machinist – over the next three weeks.
Land acquisition delays in Tamil Nadu are hindering railway project execution, requiring state government support, says Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw.
