CMPDIL, TSF join hands to upgrade ITI Tamar

Tata Steel Foundation CEO Sourav Roy and CMPDIL General Manager Sanjay Kadambar signed the pact. Captain Amitabh and Kadambar then formally exchanged the document before senior officials.

CMPDIL will provide Rs 71.21 lakh in corporate social responsibility support for this initiative. Tata Steel Foundation will execute the entire upgrade project until March 2028.

ITI Tamar currently trains 235 students, comprising 140 first-year and 95 second-year trainees. Notably, nearly 90 per cent of these enrolled students belong to local tribal communities.

The foundation will install a modern robotic welding machine inside the institute’s welding laboratory. This advanced equipment will give trainees direct practical exposure to modern automation technologies.

Trainees will actively learn programming fundamentals, precise welding parameters, and essential safe operating practices. These industry-relevant skills will prepare the youth for modern technical jobs.

The initiative will also modernise classrooms by adding new benches, comfortable seating arrangements, and digital interactive panels. These upgrades will create a much better daily learning environment.

Furthermore, the project will equip the computer laboratory with additional computers, modern workstations, and essential facilities. Students will gain far better access to vital digital learning tools.

Sourav Roy emphasised that technical education helps young people build skills and secure livelihoods. He noted that this partnership improves the learning environment at ITI Tamar.

Roy added that the project gives tribal students better access to modern technology and practical training. Both organisations aim to empower local youth through this strategic collaboration.
