Mumbai, Maharashtra, India – Crompton Greaves Consumer Electricals Ltd. is proud to announce the launch of its second batch of the Saksham program, a pioneering initiative aimed at empowering women in the electrical industry. In collaboration with Tata Strive, this unique program empowers young women from underserved communities by training them in non-traditional STEM roles, paving the way for a more inclusive future where women can excel.

Building upon the success of the first batch, Crompton’s Saksham program continues to address the gender gap in the electrical industry by providing women with the necessary skills and certifications to excel in technical roles. The program’s comprehensive curriculum combines classroom learning with hands-on training, equipping participants with the practical knowledge and confidence to pursue successful careers.

The Indian electrical industry has historically faced a significant gender disparity, with women underrepresented in technical roles. This disparity can be attributed to various factors, including societal stereotypes, limited access to relevant training opportunities, and a lack of awareness about career options in the sector. Moreover, in rural areas, cultural norms and parental concerns often hinder girls’ participation in technical education and training programs.

To address these challenges, Crompton has partnered with Tata Strive to launch the Saksham program, a pioneering initiative aimed at empowering young women in Maharashtra to pursue careers in the electrical industry. Through this program, Crompton has successfully trained over women from villages across Ahmednagar and Nashik, equipping them with the necessary skills and certifications to become skilled assistant electricians.

The Saksham program does more than just provide technical training-it is designed to:

  • Empower women: Equip women with the confidence and skills to pursue non-traditional careers, providing local youth with livelihood opportunities and fostering economic independence.
  • Break down barriers: By offering training and placement opportunities, the program actively challenges societal norms and paves the way for greater inclusivity in the workforce.
  • Create role models: Graduates, many of whom are first-generation learners, serve as role models for future generations, inspiring other women to follow in their footsteps.

Talking about the company’s initiative, Promeet Ghosh, MD & CEO, Crompton Greaves Consumer Electricals Ltd. said, “At Crompton, we believe that having a diverse workforce is not just the right thing to do, it’s essential for our continued success. That’s why we’re excited about the Saksham program. This program goes beyond just training. We’re opening doors for these young women to enter a field that has traditionally been off-limits, inspiring a new generation of women to pursue careers in the electrical sector. We’re confident that these graduates will not only have successful careers as electricians, but they will also serve as role models for others.”

He further added, “We believe that initiatives like Saksham are not just good for business, but they’re also essential for creating a more equitable and inclusive society. We’re committed to playing our part in making a difference, and we’re excited to see the positive impact that the Saksham program will have on the lives of the participants and the electrical industry as a whole.”

The 3-month residential program certified by National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC) and Tata Strive began in January 2024 and combined classroom learning with practical on-the-job training, ensuring participants were equipped with the necessary skills to excel in their chosen field. Moreover, Tata Strive, Crompton’s partner in this initiative, is also committed to ensuring a placement rate of 70% for the graduating trainees. Additionally, nearby industries have also expressed interest in providing job opportunities to these highly skilled women.

Through a strategic partnership with Mahila Arthik Vikas Mahamandal (MAVIM), Crompton ensures that placements are sustainable and that participants receive continued guidance and evaluations throughout their first year in the workforce.

Leveraging its expertise in the electrical domain, Crompton is therefore committed to providing these women with world-class training, preparing them for successful careers.
