TransPedia Research Talk Series # 32 on 26-03-2026

 

NATPAC successfully conducted the Government of India (MoEF&CC) funded Green Skill Development Programme (GSDP) Certificate course on "Electric Vehicle Charging Installation Techician" covering 450 hours of theory and practical sessions. This was conducted in association with the Agency for New and Renewable Energy Research and Technology (ANERT) Thiruvananthapuram with support from EIACP hub - KSCSTE. The course gave practical insights and knowledge to the participants through expert lectures and industry visits to ChargeMod, Ather and KSEB. We were able to give life skills to participants in this upcoming field of sustainable transportation which is all the more important given the higher penetration of EVs in Kerala and the uptake of more public charging stations through PM eDRIVE scheme.
