During the meeting, Mr Sarma also discussed creating a Skill Development Centre that will be co-located within the premises of the semiconductor facility in Morigaon’s Jagiroad.
Mr Sarma also said that the Skill Development Centre will empower youths from North East by offering them courses in Artificial Intelligence, semiconductors and electronics and will help them in securing jobs in the Jagiroad unit.
“Already 1,500 youth from Assam, mainly women, are undertaking training at Tata facilities in and around Bangalore. This will place them in leadership position once the semiconductor facility becomes operational in 2025,” he said.
