Avaada Group Partners with National Green Hydrogen Mission
Avaada Group, a prominent player in renewable energy, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with India’s National Green Hydrogen Mission (NGHM) to advance skill development and youth empowerment in the green hydrogen sector. This collaboration is set to create a transformative ecosystem aimed at equipping young professionals with the skills necessary to pursue careers in the green hydrogen industry, underscoring Avaada’s commitment to both environmental sustainability and India’s skill-development goals.
Through this partnership, Avaada Group will work closely with the Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship and the National Skill Development Corporation to implement specialised training and reskilling programs. These initiatives will incorporate hydrogen technologies into educational curricula, enabling a future-ready workforce skilled in the emerging green hydrogen field. The programmes will also support individuals from traditional industries by reskilling them for roles within the expanding green hydrogen ecosystem. This alliance is expected to strengthen India’s talent pool in the green hydrogen sector, which is crucial for the growth of a sustainable energy value chain.
The MoU was formalized by Prashant Choubey, President of Business Development at Avaada, and Arpit Sharma, CEO of the Skill Council for Green Jobs under Skill India Mission. The signing was attended by Narinder Goyal, President of Green Ammonia at Avaada Group, along with other senior leadership and representatives from the Skill Council for Green Jobs. This MoU reflects Avaada’s commitment to developing a workforce that aligns with India’s decarbonisation objectives and economic growth targets through green hydrogen initiatives.
Vineet Mittal, Chairman of Avaada Group, expressed his enthusiasm, stating, “Our commitment to India’s clean energy future goes far beyond technology; it’s about empowering a generation of skilled professionals who will be the driving force behind our green transformation. This MoU aligns perfectly with Avaada’s mission to champion the National Green Hydrogen Mission, equipping young talent with the skills they need to be part of this groundbreaking journey”.
Arpit Sharma, CEO of the Skill Council for Green Jobs, highlighted the impact of this collaboration under the Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana (PMKVY) 4.0, stating, “This collaboration, under the Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana (PMKVY) 4.0 and the Skilling, Reskilling, and Upskilling Scheme under the National Green Hydrogen Mission, is committed to providing specialised training that will equip individuals to support India’s transition to green energy”. Sharma noted that the initiative would meet the growing demand for expertise in areas such as fuel cells, electrolysers, and project management.
The Indian government’s ambitious green hydrogen goals are projected to create 600,000 jobs by 2030, attract over Rs 8 lakh crore in investments, and reduce annual greenhouse gas emissions by 50 million metric tonnes. Avaada’s expertise, spanning solar module manufacturing, renewable power generation, and green fuel production, positions the group as a pivotal player in India’s sustainable energy transition.
