TP Southern Odisha Distribution Limited (TPSODL) has inaugurated a Vocational Training Centre (VTC) at Narayanpur in Odisha’s Ganjam district, aimed at enhancing practical skills and creating employment and livelihood opportunities for women and youth.

The centre was formally inaugurated by TPSODL CEO Amit Kumar Garg in the presence of senior officials of the company. More than 120 women and young beneficiaries have enrolled at the centre for training in beautician services, computer skills and tailoring.

The vocational courses have been designed to strengthen employability and equip participants with practical skills that can help them pursue formal employment, self-employment and small livelihood activities.

 “At TPSODL, we believe our role goes beyond supplying electricity. We are committed to contributing to the well-being and development of the consumer communities we serve,” Garg said.

 “By providing practical and job-oriented skills, we hope to help women and youth improve their employability, explore livelihood opportunities and become more self-reliant. Such initiatives can also contribute to the socio-economic growth of families and communities,” he added.

The initiative, undertaken by TPSODL’s corporate social responsibility (CSR) team, seeks to support the company’s consumer community by creating avenues for skill development and sustainable livelihoods.

Through the training programme, TPSODL aims to strengthen employability and encourage self-employment, thereby contributing to the economic well-being of beneficiaries, their families and the wider community.
