‘Develop an institutional framework to generate trained human capital’

Indrani Chatterjee – Group Chief Human Officer, Allcargo Group says, “Skill development in the logistics sector is yet to achieve the desired momentum as there is lack of efforts in the industry to institutionalise skill development initiatives. Given the growing demand of logistics and supply chain services, it’s extremely critical for the industry to develop an institutional framework to generate trained human capital. Allcargo Multi-Skill Development Centre aims to bridge that gap. This centre is a modern facility with a standalone G+2 structure comprising 40 rooms. Spread across 45,000 sq. ft., this centre of excellence is located along the 40 ft. Panvel – Uran road and offers state-of-the-art infrastructure for classrooms and training laboratories. Trainers at the centre are Logistics Skill Council (LSC) TOT (Training of Trainers) certified. It operates under the Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Kendra (PMKK) model and Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana (PMKVY) flagship scheme of the Union Government’s Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship (MSDE). The centre has consecutively been accredited twice with the 5-star category by the National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC). The 5-star category is the top status for a Skill Development Center as per the current accreditation norms. The training goal is to help students gain employment as consignment booking assistant, consignment tracking executive, inventory clerk, documentation assistant and warehouse picker/packer, heavy vehicle drivers, etc. The programs aim to improve their skill proficiencies in functional areas like warehousing documentation, booking, loading, unloading, tracking, MIS, picking and packing processes.”
