Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel made headlines in Gandhinagar by distributing 40 electric cars to ITIs, empowering thousands of young motor mechanics with EV expertise. Over 8,000 trainees stand to benefit from this forward-thinking program.
The event, graced by Labour Skill Development Minister Kunvarjibhai Bavaliya, marks a key upgrade in vocational training. As the auto industry shifts to electrics, needs for battery tech, power systems, and software pros are skyrocketing.
Patel’s leadership has spurred the department to outfit ITIs with contemporary tools, delivering targeted, practical education for tomorrow’s jobs.
Simultaneously, 50 Dhanvantari Arogya Raths and six mobile medical vans rolled out, delivering doorstep healthcare to construction and sector workers.
Equipped for common treatments, lab diagnostics, and pregnancy care, these units dispense free medicines to promote health security.
Building on existing 154 raths and 25 vans, the total now reaches 206 raths and 31 vans across 34 districts, courtesy of state welfare boards.
This comprehensive strategy not only skill-trains youth for EV careers but also fortifies labor health, driving Gujarat’s progress in innovation and social care.
