New Delhi [India], September 27: Jindal Steel has set a new benchmark by becoming the country's first large, diversified enterprise and the first integrated steel manufacturer to be recognised as an Awarding Body by the National Council for Vocational Education and Training (NCVET). This milestone underscores the company's leadership in advancing vocational education and skilling standards nationwide, while strengthening its position as a pioneer in the Indian steel and infrastructure sector. An Agreement between NCVET and Jindal Steel grants the company PAN-India jurisdiction as an Awarding Body in the Large Indian Enterprise/MNC category.
The recognition enables Jindal Steel to create and implement industry-aligned standards, introduce structured skilling programs, and drive the accelerated development of the future workforce. This agreement ensures that all training standards and qualifications are recognised for credit under the National Credit Framework stemming from India's National Education Policy (NEP) 2020.
This milestone bridges the critical gap between education and employment through practical, multisectoral outcome-based skilling. It underscores Jindal Steel's commitment to nation-building, interdisciplinary capacity development, and India's transition towards green energy and modern infrastructure. All credentials issued under this framework will carry enhanced credibility and global portability, strengthening career mobility across sectors.
"Being recognised as an Awarding Body by NCVET is a responsibility we accept with seriousness and purpose. It allows us to bring industry standards directly into education and skilling, so that young Indians gain the knowledge and discipline needed to succeed in the workplace and contribute to building a stronger nation," said Mr. Naveen Jindal, Chairman, Jindal Steel.
