Northern Coalfields Limited (NCL) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Central Institute of Petrochemicals Engineering & Technology (CIPET), Varanasi, to provide free employment-oriented training to 120 unemployed and economically weaker youths from the Singrauli-Sonbhadra region.
The initiative is being undertaken under NCL’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programme, with a focus on youths from project-affected families. The four-month programme will provide skill-based training in plastic industry operations, along with workplace safety, behavioural skills and other essential workplace knowledge.

Under the programme, NCL and CIPET will provide training across three areas of plastic industry operations. Of the 120 participants, 40 will receive training in plastic manufacturing machine operation, another 40 in plastic moulding machine operation and the remaining 40 in plastic recycling machine operation.
The training will combine technical machine-operation skills with workplace safety and behavioural skills, providing participants with practical knowledge relevant to employment in the plastic industry.
