NEW DELHI: In a landmark move towards building a skilled and prosperous India, Tata STRIVE, the skill development arm of the Tata Group, is set to establish a cutting-edge skill development centre in the Tripura Tribal Areas Autonomous District Council (TTAADC) region. This initiative focuses on the hospitality sector, aiming to offer comprehensive training and career opportunities for tribal youth.
Ameya Vanjari, Chief Operating Officer of Tata STRIVE, expressed enthusiasm for this collaboration in a recent communication to CK Jamatia, Chief Executive Officer of TTAADC. Vanjari commended TTAADC’s proactive approach and highlighted the alignment between TTAADC’s commitment to empowering tribal youth and Tata STRIVE’s mission to foster skill development and career growth.
This initiative marks a significant collaboration between TTAADC, Tata STRIVE, and Indian Hotels Company Limited (IHCL), the hospitality arm of the Tata Group. IHCL is committed to supporting livelihoods through various skilling initiatives, particularly through its ‘Paathya’ program.
“We are excited and optimistic about this project aimed at empowering the youth of the region through skill development and training,” Vanjari stated. She emphasized that the project aligns perfectly with IHCL’s dedication to supporting livelihoods via skilling initiatives.
As a preliminary step, Tata STRIVE plans to conduct a site visit to Agartala in June to inspect the facilities identified by TTAADC for the establishment of the centre. “This visit will allow us to better understand the possibilities, discuss options, and draft plans,” Vanjari mentioned in her letter.
The visit aims to solidify infrastructure collaboration and outline operational and financial plans for the centre. The proposed centre will offer specialized courses in hospitality, intending to equip the youth with the skills necessary to thrive in the industry.
