We are delighted to share the success of the Tool Kit Distribution Ceremony held at ATDC Sohagpur under the SECL–CSR Skill Development initiative.
ATDC began its partnership with South Eastern Coalfields Limited (SECL) with the signing of an MoU on 12th February 2025 in the presence of Ms. Rupinder Brar, IRS, Additional Secretary, Ministry of Coal, Govt. of India.
Under this collaboration, SECL has sanctioned training for 400 candidates. Currently, two batches (30 candidates each) are undergoing training at the rent-free built-up space provided by SECL at Sohagpur.

In their august presence, the Tool Kit Distribution Ceremony for SECL-sponsored SET candidates was successfully conducted. The dignitaries handed over tool kits to all trainees, interacted with them, and motivated them with encouraging words. They emphasized the importance of skill development and the vast opportunities in the Apparel Sector.
The students expressed heartfelt gratitude to SECL and ATDC for enabling them to build a promising career. They shared their learning experiences, highlighting hands-on training on various industrial sewing machines and the ability to make garments like kurtas, blouses, shirts, trousers, palazzos, and more.
ATDC remains committed to empowering youth and women through industry-relevant, livelihood-oriented training, contributing to a skilled workforce for the apparel industry.
Together, we stitch dreams into reality!
