“We are privileged to be of assistance to the armed forces in our own modest way. The armed forces have been rendering yeoman services to the nation. Nothing could be more satisfying than helping the Indian Army increase its competitiveness by up-skilling their personnel in rubber technology,” said Simon.
Army personnel at Army Base Workshop, Khadki (Pune), will be trained by the RSDC in the job role of Junior Rubber Technician. The training will be provided under recognition of prior learning (RPL) scheme of Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana (PMKVY). In the first phase of these training programme, more than 40 personnel will participate. The rubber industry has been serving the nation by supplying quality products, often customized to the special needs of the defence sector. Over 4,500 rubber SMEs manufacture over 35,000 products that find usage in vital sectors, including defence.
