Through this partnership with QMTI, over 200 ex-servicemen will gain hands-on training in domestic home appliance repair, helping them rebuild their livelihoods
Godrej Enterprises Group, under its flagship CSR initiative Disha, in partnership with Queen Mary’s Technical Institute (QMTI), inaugurated the Home Appliances Repair and Maintenance Lab at Pune. This initiative is designed to support specially-abled soldiers from the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Paramilitary Forces by equipping them with technical skills that enable sustainable livelihoods.The state-of-the-art lab will provide hands-on training to over 200 war wounded soldiers over the next three years, preparing them as certified Home Appliances Repair and Maintenance Technicians. The project is envisioned as a self-sustaining skill centre that not only trains but also provides placement support and handholding assistance for at least three months post-training. This commitment will help ensure that these specially abled soldiers transition smoothly into civilian livelihoods while continuing to receive mentorship and guidance.
