"The Dakshata programme is an initiative that will enable young students develop relevant skills on futuristic technologies and become self-reliant, thereby empowering them for a brighter future and further strengthen the goal of fulfilling a broader vision of Skill India," MG Motor India Chief Corporate Affairs Officer Yash Yadav said.

As the technology-cost curve is becoming steeper, more technologies are finding their way into the automotive sector at present.

Be it hybrid technology, or electric vehicles, the automotive industry is evolving at a rapid pace, the company said, adding that the programme's goal is to train ITI and diploma as well as engineering students to fill the supply deficit of the skilled automotive workforce.
