As we look back on another remarkable year at the Skill Council for Green Jobs (SCGJ), I am filled with immense pride at the impact we have made in driving India’s green energy transition. Our commitment to advancing key sectors, especially Green Hydrogen, Renewable Energy & Waste Management has never been stronger. These areas are at the heart of India’s vision for a cleaner, more sustainable future, and our work continues to align with the nation’s ambitious goals.
A key focus this year has been the Green Hydrogen Mission, a cornerstone of India’s decarbonization strategy. Green hydrogen is poised to play a transformative role in reducing carbon emissions across industries, from energy and transportation to manufacturing. At SCGJ, in association with ICF we have completed a Skill Gap Study across Green Hydrogen Sector which was launched in March 2024 and have initiated several capacity-building programs to develop a skilled workforce that can support this emerging sector. By partnering with industry leaders, government bodies, and higher educational institutions, we are building training modules that will equip India’s workforce with the expertise required to harness the potential of green hydrogen, thereby enabling the country to meet its clean energy targets.
In addition, the Pradhan Mantri Surya Ghar Yojna, which aims to increase rooftop solar energy adoption across households, has been a key area of focus for SCGJ. Solar energy is central to India’s renewable energy future, and through this initiative, we are committed to training Installation Helpers in the Solar PV domain who will help in the seamless integration of solar PV systems into homes and businesses. Our training programs aim to empower individuals and local communities with the technical knowledge needed to install and maintain solar systems, contributing to energy independence and sustainable livelihoods.
Our Vision 2030 is rooted in these initiatives, focusing on creating a skilled workforce capable of driving the green economy forward. By expanding our skilling efforts in green hydrogen, solar energy, and other critical areas, SCGJ is dedicated to ensuring that India not only meets but exceeds its sustainable development goals.
I would like to thank our partners, stakeholders, and the dedicated team at SCGJ for their tireless efforts. Together, we are building a cleaner, greener, and more prosperous future for India.
