Chairman’s Message

The last few months especially during the second COVID wave have been challenging for the entire country, however now India’s economy is getting back on track and poised to rebound sharply after two waves of the Covid pandemic dampened growth.

India is also on track to achieve a USD 5 trillion economy by 2025 and skilling will be key to achieve that. There is a huge opportunity for the entire industry, besides SCGJ across renewable energy, energy efficiency, energy security, EV and smart mobility, battery storage, green construction, and now green hydrogen domain.

Perhaps in the post COVID World, skilling techniques and methodology may change but they will continue to have a massive role to play to drive the future economic growth. The various learnings have been made at SCGJ and the council have done a commendable job in adopting digitization by utilizing online and digital tools.

SCGJ’s Strategy has been to adopt digitization and enhance their participation in various initiatives in skilling across the green business sector. Despite limitations, a lot of good work has happened in 20-21 and in the first seven month of current FY.
