Ranchi, Aug. 5: Central Mine Planning & Design Institute Limited (CMPDIL) has signed a Memorandum of Agreement (MoA) with the Central Institute of Petrochemicals Engineering & Technology (CIPET), Ranchi, to provide residential skill development training to 80 underprivileged youth from Jharkhand under its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programme for the financial year 2026–27.
The initiative aims to enhance the employability of unemployed and underemployed youth by equipping them with practical, industry-oriented technical skills required in the plastics processing and manufacturing sectors.
The agreement was signed by Sanjay Kadambar, General Manager (HR/CSR), CMPDIL, and Avneet Kumar Joshi, Director and Head of CIPET Ranchi, in the presence of officials from both organisations.
Under the programme, 80 candidates from Ranchi, Ramgarh, Hazaribagh, Dhanbad and Latehar districts will undergo four months of fully residential training at the CIPET campus in Ranchi.
The participants will be equally divided into two specialised courses—Machine Operator–Plastics Processing (MO-PP) and Machine Operator–Tool Room (MO-TR). Each programme will comprise 600 hours of technical and practical training to prepare candidates for employment in the manufacturing sector.
CMPDIL has earmarked ₹47.52 lakh for the implementation of the project during FY 2026–27. The funding will cover the cost of residential training, enabling economically disadvantaged youth to acquire technical skills without financial constraints.
According to CMPDIL, the programme is designed to improve employability by providing industry-relevant training and creating better career opportunities for young people in the plastics processing and manufacturing industries.
The public sector enterprise said its partnership with CIPET Ranchi reflects its commitment to promoting sustainable livelihoods through skill development under its CSR initiatives.
Officials said the initiative is also expected to help bridge the skilled workforce gap in the manufacturing sector while contributing to inclusive socio-economic development in Jharkhand through employment-oriented training.
