Maruti Suzuki will set up a second JIM in Haryana, boosting skills training
Maruti Suzuki India (MSI) on Friday said it has entered into a pact with the Haryana government to set up the second Japan-India Institute for Manufacturing (JIM) in the state.
The new institute would come up in Kansala in Rohtak, Haryana and would be operational next year.
Spread over five hectares, the existing ITI Kansala will be upgraded into a JIM with an investment of Rs 5.8 crore, the auto major said in a statement.
The Haryana government has provided the land and building for the JIM in Kansala, while the company will provide equipment, training modules, trained teachers and manage this institute for 15 years, it added.
“The Indian passenger car industry is now the third largest in the world and growing. It is our responsibility to prepare human capacity in line with production capacity to meet this growth,” said Rahul Bharti, Executive Director, Corporate Affairs, MSI .
Educating youth with industry-ready skills will help realize the vision of an Atmanirbhar Bharat, he added.
MSI currently has three JIMs: two in Gujarat and one in Haryana. The second institute in Rohtak would take the total number of such institutes in the country to four.
