Voltas supports youth of Assam

Voltas, as part of its Corporate Sustainability efforts, has undertaken the responsibility of providing backward-class youth in Assam with a means of livelihood. This is in conjunction with Tata Group's initiative of creating employability amongst the youth of Assam.

Voltas has successfully imparted training in Air conditioning and Refrigeration to 10 young beneficiaries, at the Joseph Cardijn Technical School, with which Voltas has a tie-up, and was the venue of the felicitation programme in December 2007.

Speakers at the programme reaffirmed that the commitment to the development of a strong self-reliant community has always been part of the Tata Business Process. Voltas culture has consciously promoted Corporate Sustainability, with mutual encouragement and teamwork towards improving the quality of life, not only of employees but also of those less privileged. This is the thinking that has gone into Voltas' partnering with the Joseph Cardijn Institute for vocational training.

Fr. Felix D'Souza, Director of the Joseph Cardijn Institute, in his address said that great things happenwhen a corporate giant like Voltas joins hands with a Vocational Technical Training School like Joseph Cardijn; 144 students have successfully completed the training programme and benefitted from it.
