National Education Day: Toyota Kirloskar Motor’s Initiatives Champion Skill Development for India’s Youth

TRICHY11th November 2024:  Celebrating National Education Day, Toyota Kirloskar Motor (TKM) reaffirms its commitment to bridging the skills gap in India through a wide range of impactful initiatives. With a strong focus on empowering economically underprivileged youth across Karnataka and India, TKM’s educational and vocational training programs are creating pathways to employment, fostering self-reliance, and contributing to India’s industrial growth.

A key pillar of TKM’s mission is the Toyota Technical Training Institute (TTTI), established in 2007. For over 15 years, TTTI has been providing free, high-quality education to youth from economically underprivileged sections, specializing in automobile manufacturing. The institute offers a rigorous three-year residential training program that not only builds technical skills but also focuses on the holistic development of students. The curriculum emphasizes hands-on training, a deep understanding of global manufacturing practices, and an active engagement in physical and community-building activities. To address the growing demand for skilled technicians and support women’s empowerment, TKM recently doubled TTTI’s capacity to 1,200 students, with special facilities for up to 600 female students. This expansion includes upgraded residential facilities, advanced classrooms, and the latest equipment, ensuring a comprehensive learning environment for all students.

In line with its commitment to ‘Skill India,’ TKM has introduced the Toyota Kaushalya Program, a two-year course under the “Learn and Earn” model. This program complements TTTI’s regular offerings by allowing students to earn an income while they learn, combining classroom knowledge with on-the-job training (OJT) at Toyota’s facilities. Designed for talented youth from rural Karnataka, the Kaushalya Program empowers students with the specialized skills needed in today’s job market, providing them with valuable industry experience and significantly enhancing their employability.

Additionally, TKM’s dedication to nurturing future automotive professionals is evident in its Toyota Technical Education Program (T-TEP), a collaboration with industrial training institutes across India. Through T-TEP, TKM has established 60 centres, benefiting over 13,000 students nationwide. This program provides a robust technical curriculum, combined with practical skills development at Toyota dealerships, enabling students to gain firsthand experience with advanced automotive technologies and industry-standard practices.

In an effort to facilitate cross-cultural skill development, TKM also participates in the Technical Intern Training Program (TITP), which allows selected employees to gain international experience through on-the-job training in Japan for periods ranging from six months to five years. This exchange not only strengthens technical competencies but also fosters deeper cooperation between India and Japan, as knowledge and expertise flow seamlessly between the two nations.

Mr. G. Shankara – Executive Vice President, Finance and Administration, Toyota Kirloskar Motor said“As we observe National Education Day 2024, at TKM, our commitment extends beyond just business; we are dedicated to nurturing lifelong learning and fostering an inclusive environment that values diversity, equity, and opportunity for all. By prioritizing quality education and comprehensive skill development, we aim to transform youth into empowered, productive members of society. Our initiatives not only support individual growth but also contribute significantly to building stronger communities. Aligned with the Prime Minister’s Internship Scheme announced in the Union Budget 2024-25, we are strengthening our commitment by offering practical training opportunities that effectively bridge the gap between education and industry needs. Through these focused efforts, we aspire to play an integral role in achieving the vision of Viksit Bharat—a developed and progressive nation where every citizen thrives.

Building on these initiatives, TKM has forged a partnership with the Government Tool Room & Training Centre (GTTC) as an Industrial Training Provider (ITP). Since the signing of an MoUin 2021, TKM has supported the establishment of 16 GTTC institutes across Karnataka, with plans to expand to 36 institutes by 2026. These centres offer specialized training programs in automobile welding and assembly, equipping students with essential skills in high demand within the industry. TKM’s partnership with 49 Industrial Training Institutes (ITIs) across Karnataka has also had a far-reaching impact, having trained nearly 3,000 students to date. With over 1,10,000 youth trained, TKM has fostered life-changing opportunities, promoted diversity, equity, and inclusion, and made a meaningful impact on Karnataka, India, and society at large.

These diverse initiatives are united by TKM’s philosophy of holistic development. Through structured programs that emphasize technical knowledge, skill-building, and personal growth, TKM strives to instil a strong sense of discipline, community responsibility, and resilience in its students. The inclusion of activities like shramadaan and community service promotes a positive attitude and work ethic, ensuring that graduates emerge not only as skilled professionals, but also as conscientious citizens committed to giving back to society.

Key Factors to Keep in Mind When Purchasing Home Lifts in India


As urban living spaces in India continue to evolve, homeowners are increasingly seeking
innovative solutions to enhance the accessibility and functionality of their residences. Home
elevators offer a modern and efficient way to navigate multi-story homes. When considering
the purchase of these elevators in India, it’s essential to keep several key factors in mind to
ensure you make a well-informed decision. Mr. Vimal Babu, Founder & CEO of Nibav Lifts and
shares a comprehensive guide which aids in making a quick decision to purchase one. Nibav
home lifts is a pioneer in Air driven lifts, while Elite elevators come along with traction and
hydraulic technology.
Space and Design Considerations – A key advantage of home elevators is their compact and
sleek design, which requires minimal space compared to traditional lifts. These elevators are
ideal for homes with limited space since they do not need a machine room, pit, or overhead
clearance. When planning your purchase, measure the available space in your home and
consider how the elevator’s transparent cylindrical design will complement your existing décor,
adding a modern touch to your home.
Easy Installation – Home elevators are known for their easy and quick installation process.
Unlike conventional elevators, which can take weeks or even months to install, a home elevator
can be set up in just a few days. This rapid and non-invasive installation process minimizes
disruption to your daily life and preserves your home’s structural integrity without requiring
major modifications.
Energy Efficiency – Energy efficiency is a crucial consideration, particularly in a country like India
where energy conservation is a growing concern. Home elevators are designed to be highly
energy-efficient, consuming power only during ascents. Descents are gravity-powered, meaning
no electricity is used, resulting in significant energy savings over time. This feature not only
lowers electricity bills but also reduces carbon footprint.
Safety Features – Safety is a top priority when selecting a home elevator. Home Elevators come
equipped with a range of safety features to ensure a secure ride, including emergency brakes,
pressure relief valves, child switches, emergency descent mechanisms, and alarms. These built-
in safety features provide peace of mind, ensuring the elevator is reliable and safe for all users,
including children and elderly family members.
Maintenance and Longevity – One of the significant benefits of Home Elevators is their low
maintenance requirements. With fewer moving parts compared to traditional elevators,
maintenance is easier and less costly. This results in lower maintenance expenses and fewer
service interruptions. When choosing a home elevator, inquire about the warranty and the
availability of after-sales service to ensure long-term support and protection for your
investment.

Load Capacity and Usage – Understanding the load capacity is essential to ensure the elevator
meets your household’s needs. Home Elevators typically have a load capacity sufficient for two
to three passengers, which is adequate for residential use. Assess your specific requirements,
such as the number of users and any special needs, to choose an elevator with the appropriate
load capacity.
Regulatory Compliance – Ensure that the Home Elevators you select complies with local
building codes and safety standards. Compliance guarantees that the elevator is safe for use
and meets all legal requirements, preventing potential issues in the future.
Cost Considerations – The basic cost of a home elevator begins at a value of Rs 10Lakhs. This
cost can vary depending on the advanced features that are integrated into the various series of
the home elevator. The benefits of lower energy consumption, reduced maintenance costs, and
quick installation can offset the initial investment over time. Evaluate the total cost of
ownership, including purchase, installation, and ongoing operational expenses, to make a
financially sound decision.
Purchasing a home elevator in India is a forward-thinking choice that combines practicality,
efficiency, and modern design. By considering factors such as space, installation ease, energy
efficiency, safety, maintenance, load capacity, regulatory compliance, and overall cost, you can
make an informed decision that enhances the accessibility and value of your home. Home
elevators prioritize safety and accessibility. They eliminate the risk and frustration of navigating
stairs, providing a reliable mode of transportation for everyone to move between floors
effortlessly. Embrace the future of residential mobility with a home elevator and enjoy the
convenience and elegance it brings to your living space.
