Tata Motors, in collaboration with Navodaya Vidyalaya Samiti (NVS), has established 25 ‘Automotive Skill Labs’ at Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalayas (JNVs) in Maharashtra, Karnataka, Gujarat, Jharkhand, West Bengal, Uttar Pradesh, and Uttarakhand. These labs provide approximately 4,000 students annually, including 30% girls, with practical automotive skills.
Upon successful completion of the programme, students receive joint certificates from Tata Motors and NVS. Post-schooling, they can opt for a Diploma in Manufacturing Technology, including a full stipend and on-the-job training at Tata Motors’ manufacturing facilities.
Alternatively, those interested in continuing with Tata Motors can pursue a BTech in engineering—a 3.5-year executive education programme in collaboration with select engineering institutes—leading to permanent employment after five years.
The initiative is aligned with the vocational courses envisioned in the ‘National Education Policy 2020’ and focuses on providing secondary and senior secondary students (studying in 9th to 12th standard) with essential subject knowledge, hands-on skills, and valuable industry exposure—all within the school premises. Students can also visit Tata Motors’ plants, interact with service and dealership professionals, and attend lectures by industry experts to gain real-world experience and deepen their knowledge.
