The inauguration of the Skill Development Centre, ‘VEDIC-Mahindra SDC’ in Nagpur, is a testament to that objective and a major milestone in Mahindra Tractors’ continued thrust toward transforming lives and strengthening communities."
This venture marks a significant milestone as Mahindra Tractors celebrates 60 years of leadership in the domestic market and the achievement of selling 40 lakh tractors. The establishment of this center highlights the company’s commitment to rural prosperity and youth empowerment across the country. It aligns with Prime Minister Narendra Modi's emphasis on skill development as a national priority to leverage India’s unique demographic dividend.
Through VEDIC-Mahindra SDC, Mahindra Tractors aims to bring unmatched industry expertise in tractor and farm machinery with a strong commitment to excellence in skill development. The center will focus on skilling rural youth from the Vidarbha region, enabling them to access multiple career opportunities in sales, service roles at dealership locations, and assembly roles at manufacturing plants.
The curriculum at the center has been uniquely curated to cover skill development across tractor service, sales, and assembly. It will be delivered by the best trainers in the field. Students will have access to the latest technical equipment and hands-on experience in various aspects of tractor-related skills.
