Gujarat is gearing up for the electric vehicle revolution with Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel allocating 40 EVs to state-run ITIs. The handover in Gandhinagar targets motor mechanic trainees numbering over 8,000, offering them advanced practical exposure.
Accompanied by Minister Kunvarjibhai Bavaliya, Patel flagged off the initiative to modernize training infrastructure. With EVs dominating the market, demand surges for specialists in battery systems, electric drivetrains, and software integration.
This syllabus-based provision ensures trainees master latest technologies, fostering self-reliance and employability in a high-growth sector. The Labour Department’s efforts reflect the CM’s focus on aligning education with industry demands.
Complementing this, Patel unveiled 50 Dhanvantari Arogya Raths and six mobile medical units for on-site primary treatment to laborers in construction and formal sectors.
These raths handle routine health issues, conduct vital tests, and support maternal and child health with complimentary medications. They play a pivotal role in early intervention and wellness maintenance.
The expanded network now includes 206 raths and 31 vans statewide, operated through dedicated welfare boards. Spanning 34 districts, it guarantees accessible care for workers’ families.
By investing in skills and health, Gujarat builds a resilient ecosystem for sustainable development and worker empowerment.
