Within a month of introducing the Skill India Digital platform, the Government of India is taking initiatives to empower individuals while actively using it. The National Skill Development Corporation has announced a partnership with Coca-Cola India to start the Super Power retailing Program under the Skill India Mission, with the goal of strengthening the retailing community, particularly in the states of Odisha and Uttar Pradesh. The program is currently being tested in the state of Odisha.
The partnership between NSDC and Coca-Cola India was formally announced this week in the presence of Union Minister for Education and Skill Development & Entrepreneurship Dharmendra Pradhan; Ved Mani Tiwari, COO, NSDC; and Sanket Ray, CEO, Coca-Cola India.
Dharmendra Pradhan, speaking at the event, stated that the establishment of the Super Power Retailer will empower retailers and equip them with training to help them expand their businesses and improve consumer experiences. The project would play a critical role in improving India’s economy by skilling, reskilling, and upskilling retailers and will deliver 14 hours of quality retail training to the country’s 1.40 crore merchants via the Skill India Digital Portal, he added.
The retailers will be instructed on how to design and implement business plans, as well as how to take advantage of the tremendous potential provided by digital platforms, according to the minister. These training courses will be offered in numerous languages, allowing small shopkeepers as well as large businessmen across the country to participate.
