Supporting skilling initiatives with an aim to empower youth, differently-abled individuals and low-income communities to be adept for better employment opportunities.
By collaborating with partners, we empowered over 600+ individuals from low-income communities. These initiatives are designed to help them acquire relevant skills for livelihood. Apart from creating opportunities for the potential workforce, such efforts also contribute to the National Skill India Mission.
In FY 2024–25, Cipla and other Member Companies of the Indian Pharmaceutical Alliance ("IPA") collaborated to establish a skilling institute for the purpose of developing talent for pharmaceutical industry through Foundation for Pharmaceutical Academy for Global Excellence ("PAGE"), a not-for-profit company set up by IPA member companies, at a total estimated cost of approximately ₹200 crores. The participating members including Cipla will contribute the cost of the project in equal ratio. PAGE has already acquired land in Hyderabad and is in the process of acquiring land in Gujarat.
The Government of India has launched the PM Internship Scheme to provide internship opportunities to one crore youth across 500 leading companies, based on CSR expenditure. As one of the selected companies under this initiative, Cipla is actively participating in the programme to impart industry-relevant training and skill development to young talent.
