As India accelerates its transition toward sustainable mobility, ASDC, in collaboration with the West Bengal SC/ST Development Department and training partners, launched the WB SC/ST Phase-II project to skill fresh candidates in critical electric and four-wheeler service domains. This initiative was designed not only to build technical capacity but to create livelihood pathways for marginalized youth in Purulia and Baruipur—two key districts of West Bengal.
Launched in February 2024, the program focused on emerging job roles such as Electric Vehicle Service Technician (2 & 3 Wheelers) and Four-Wheeler Service Technician, both vital to India’s growing EV ecosystem. The training model combined hands-on learning with industry-relevant content and strong post-training support to enhance employability.
By March 2025, 240 candidates were trained, with 178 completing assessments, reflecting high engagement and successful mobilization in target communities. The project is progressing toward a 70% placement goal, reinforcing the state’s efforts to link skilling with social equity.
The WB SC/ST Phase-II project exemplifies how ASDC is empowering youth from underserved backgrounds with future-ready skills, reaffirming its commitment to inclusive, innovationdriven workforce transformation.
