Maruti Suzuki To Set Up 4th Japan-India Institute For Manufacturing

Maruti Suzuki signs a Memorandum of Agreement (MoA) with the Government of Haryana to set up a second Japan-India Institute for Manufacturing (JIM) in Haryana at Kansala, in Rohtak. Spread over five acres, the existing ITI Kansala will be upgraded to a JIM with an investment of 5.8 crores as a CSR activity of the company.

Rahul Bharti, Executive Director, Corporate Affairs, Maruti Suzuki India Limited, “We have been operating Japan-India Institutes for Manufacturing (JIMs) since 2017. The key feature of the JIM is that the equipment on which the students are trained is almost similar to that in a modern production factory. In addition, there is a focus on safety, quality, discipline, punctuality, Kaizen, and other Japanese shop floor practices, along with the core curriculum prescribed by the National Council for Vocational Training (NCVT). That helps improve employability.”

Located about 16 km from the upcoming automobile hub Kharkhoda, JIM Kansala will offer extensive career opportunities to the students trained at the ITI.

The government of Haryana has provided the land and buildings for the JIM in Kansala. Maruti Suzuki will provide equipment, training modules, and trained teachers and will manage this institute for 15 years.
