P M Parlewar gave an introduction about the SINADE India project and the proposed desired outcomes from the project.

This will greatly help local industries bridge the demand-supply gap in terms of trained manpower and adaption to advanced technologies, which in turn will not only help a particular industry but a complete industrial cluster. Total 25 industries will be selected out of the many industrial areas of Nagpur after a proper scrutiny.
