Pune: Pimpri-Chinchwad to Become an ‘Education Hub’ with International Skill Development Center Approval
Pimpri, 11th November 2023: A significant step towards promoting skilled manpower in Pimpri-Chinchwad has been taken with the approval of an International Skill Development Center, spearheaded by BJP MLA Mahesh Landge.
The PCMC has secured a 21,172 square meters plot in Chinchwad, formerly owned by the old Premier Company, for the construction of an Industrial Training Center and the International Skill Development Center.
Pimpri Chinchwad Municipal Commissioner Shekhar Singh granted administrative approval for the building construction at this location, marking a pivotal moment in the initiative.
MLA Landge played a crucial role in advancing the establishment of the International Skill Development Center. A meeting with Dharmendra Pradhan, the Union Minister for Education, Skill Development and Entrepreneurship, contributed to the positive response from the Pimpri-Chinchwad Municipal Administration.
Expressing his vision for Pimpri-Chinchwad as an ‘Education Hub,’ MLA Landge emphasized the ongoing efforts to establish institutions like Jagadguru Sant Tukaram Maharaj Santpeeth, Government Engineering College, Medical College and Research Center at YCM. The International Skill Development Center is seen as a key addition to this educational landscape.
Acknowledging the administration’s positive stance in facilitating infrastructure development, Landge extended gratitude and called for the appointment of a consultant for the skill development centre. The tender process is expected to commence soon, to initiate construction within the next two to three months.
MLA Landge said, “The municipal administration took a positive stand to create infrastructure for the construction of this centre. Thanks to the administration for this. Now, a consultant should be appointed for the skill development centre. Also, it is expected that the work should be started in two-three months after conducting the tender process.”
