Adani Skill Development Centre (ASDC), the skilling arm of Adani Foundation, recently celebrated the successful completion of a 90-day training program at Krishnapatnam Port. This program marked a significant milestone as it was the first time international participants from Tanzania joined ASDC’s maritime training course. The batch consisted of 10 trainees from Tanzania and 20 students from India, creating a diverse and enriching learning environment.
Jatin Trivedi, CEO of ASDC, highlighted the achievements of the Tanzanian trainees, emphasizing the organization’s commitment to empowering individuals across borders. Launched in October 2024, the port training programs aim to equip participants with world-class maritime skills through a curriculum that includes theoretical and practical modules on industry-grade simulators. The program covers training in rubber tyred gantry (RTG) crane operations, heavy motor vehicle (HMV) driving, and marine engine and mechanical systems (MEMS).
The training program was not just about acquiring skills for the participants, but also about gaining confidence and shaping their future. Tanzanian trainee Frank Daud Mgendi expressed his gratitude for the opportunity to learn and work alongside other students. Another Tanzanian resident, Lameck Rojas Kidasi, shared his excitement about his first visit to India and the prospects for future opportunities. A certification distribution ceremony was held at the Krishnapatnam facility, attended by key personnel from Adani Krishnapatnam Port Limited (AKPL).
