Maruti Suzuki India (MSI) on Friday said it has signed an agreement with the Haryana government to set up the second Japan-India Institute of Manufacturing (JIM) in the state.
The new institute would be built at Kansala in Rohtak, Haryana and would be operational next year.
Spread over five acres, the existing ITI Kansala will be transformed into JIM with an investment of `5.8 crore, the auto major said in a statement.
The Haryana government has provided the land and building for the JIM in Kansala, while the company will provide equipment, training modules, trained teachers and run this institute for 15 years, he adds.
« The Indian passenger vehicle industry is now the third largest in the world and is growing. It is our responsibility to prepare the human capacity matching the manufacturing capacity to meet this growth, » said Rahul Bharti, MSI Executive Director of Corporate Affairs.
Training the youth with industry-relevant skills will help realize the vision of an Atmanirbhar Bharat, he added.
MSI currently has three JIMs – two in Gujarat and one in Haryana. The establishment of the second institute, in Rohtak, would take the total number of such institutes in the country to four.
