IREDA’s approach extends beyond financial facilitation; it embodies a holistic vision for national development. By investing in green skills and supporting capacity-building, IREDA is not just channeling funds into clean energy projects but is fundamentally investing in the “change makers of tomorrow.” These young professionals will be the engineers, technicians, researchers, and entrepreneurs who innovate solutions, optimize operations, and ensure the widespread adoption of renewable energy across the country.
This commitment aligns perfectly with national goals of sustainable development and job creation. The renewable energy sector is a significant employer, and by preparing a skilled workforce, IREDA is contributing directly to economic growth and empowering youth with meaningful career opportunities in a future-proof industry.
The impetus behind these impactful initiatives is significantly amplified by the visionary leadership of Shri Pradip Kumar Das, CMD, IREDA. His unwavering dedication to fostering a sustainable future, coupled with a deep understanding of the importance of human capital, has been instrumental in shaping IREDA’s strategic focus on skill development.
