    The programme will be conducted in batches of 30 students and will include six months of structured training followed by a one-year internship, offering participants hands-on, on-ground industry exposure. The entire programme will be fully funded by VPPL, underscoring the company’s commitment to local youth empowerment through structured skilling and workforce development.
