The program concluded successfully in September 2016 with a 90.4% placement record, leading to 217 candidates being offered placement in different companies across the country.

The cost for training each student was approximately INR 60,000 which included training, lodging & boarding, training kit and uniforms.

Over the last 2 years, 300 students have been trained, with over 95% of them having secured job placements, through this initiative.
