We will train them under our training programme, Kushal,” elaborated Merchant. We may get people like plumbers, painters, electricians, car painters and welders from these institutes. “We are keeping an eye on the various Industrial Training Institutes (ITIs) in the state. We hope that these youths will fill the vacuum created in the construction projects.”ĭevelopers Amar Manjarekar and Anil Pharande, also members of Credai, have taken the responsibility of training in Pune, Merchant added. Further, similar courses will be run in other parts of the state. Suhas Merchant, president, Credai, Pune Metro, said, “Initially, 1,000 youths will be trained. They will be handed out certificates, thereby giving them opportunity to work anywhere in the country. The association plans to train 50,000 youths initially, who will not only get a stipend during the two-month training period but also food and stay facilities near the construction sites without any charges. Trained workers are slated to get secured placements, replacing their counterparts from Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Karnataka and other parts of the country. They have decided to train local unemployed youths to shoulder the responsibility.Ĭredai, Pune chapter, has already started contacting youths from Marathwada, Solapur, Kolhapur, Satara and parts of Vidarbha to enrol them to train in Pune. In order to deal with this crisis, the Pune Metro chapter of Confederation of Real Estate Developers’ Association (Credai), the apex body to regulate private real estate business in the country, is looking at alternative plans to revive business. The present estimated labour shortage is around 70 per cent, and it will be an uphill task to bring back departed migrant labourers. With the mass exodus of over two lakh labourers, especially those employed at construction sites in Pune and Pimpri-Chinchwad due to the pandemic-induced lockdown, several large-scale real estate projects have been badly hit due to the absence of skilled workers. Unemployed youths from various dists will be trained, given jobs at work sites
