| As
per the R&R policy of Govt of Orissa, the steel
company is committed to provide employment opportunity
to one nominee of each displaced family in its plant
or its associate companies. Further Tata Steel,
as a part of its continued support and commitment
for the well being rehabilitated families has formulated
the concept of Tata Steel Parivar, in which each
displaced family is a member. Amongst others issues,
the steel company will constantly pursue for increase
in income levels for each member of Tata Steel Parivar.
So it is extremely important to upgrade the skills
and improve the employability of the displaced families
to increase the income levels of each Tata Steel
Parivar. In order to do so, a tailor made training
programme has been initiated by Tata Steel in collaboration
with Nettur Technical Training Foundation (NTTF)
titled as Prerana - For a Brighter Future to deliver
quality training to the displaced-would-be-employees.
The first batch of Prerana training
programme commenced on 10th May 2006 at Sukinda
Chromite Mine.The first fifteen days were dedicated
to the personality development of these boys. Under
the personality development programme the trainees
were trained in dedication, public speaking, self-confidence,
acting, reading speed, memory enhancement, etiquettes,
time management, etc.
Subsequent part of the training
included Welding Technology. Under the dedicated
instructors of NTTF, laborious periods of 75 days
were spent by the youths of Kalinganagar on rigorous
training on welding. The result is far more than
encouraging. All the trainees have scored more than
60 per cent in the tests conducted from time to
time. The tangible result can be seen in their project
work wherein the trainees have fabricated two-tier
beds for the trainee hostel, which will be used
by the future trainees.
Upon commissioning of the plant,
these trainees will be employed as per the R&R
policy. Meanwhile they will be provided opportunities
to work in the construction of the plant, which
will be taken up by reputed construction companies
from the country and abroad.
Tata Steel will continuously monitor
for the skill development of its Prerana Trainees
of Kalinganagar for increase in their income levels
and a better quality of New Life. This reaffirms
the commitment of Tata Steel for building a better
tomorrow.
