Here’s what Toyota Kirloskar Motor has to say about the collaboration:

Toyota Kirloskar Motor (TKM) today announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Samagra Shikshana Karnataka (Department of School Education and Literacy), Government of Karnataka, to promote and strengthen vocational education for students studying in Grades 9 to 12.

This strategic collaboration aims to bridge the gap between academia and industry, empower students with hands-on learning in automobile technology, and develop them into responsible and future-ready citizens. The initiative is designed to address the growing need for skilled manpower while nurturing holistic development among school students.

Under this partnership, the program will be implemented in eight government schools across seven districts of Karnataka, benefitting more than 800 students. The identified schools include Kudur and Kanakapura (Bengaluru South), Peenya (Bengaluru Urban), Bagepalli (Chikkaballapur), Byadagi (Haveri), Harapanahalli (Vijayanagara), Turvihal (Raichur), and Haliyal (Uttara Kannada).

The MoU was signed in the presence of Ms. K. Vidya Kumari, IAS, State Project Director, Samagra Shikshana Karnataka, Mr. MR Maruti, KAS, Director (Quality), SSK and Mr. A. Ramesh Rao, Vice President, External Affairs-Karnataka & Corporate Social Responsibility, Toyota Kirloskar Motor.

The collaboration focuses on developing both teachers and students. A comprehensive Train-the-Trainer program will build the capacity of faculty members and provide them exposure to Toyota’s world-class manufacturing and learning practices. TKM will also establish automobile skill laboratories in the partner schools to impart practical, industry-relevant knowledge. In addition, students will gain real-world exposure to industrial environments and Toyota’s best practices, fostering discipline, a strong safety mindset and respect for people.

Commenting on the occasion, G. Shankara, Executive Vice President, Finance and Administration, Toyota Kirloskar Motor said,

 

We are privileged to collaborate with the Government of Karnataka to strengthen and enhance vocational education in the automobile sector. This initiative will enable students from Grades 9 to 12 to gain hands-on industry exposure and develop essential skills that prepare them for the future. Beyond technical learning, it focuses on nurturing discipline, safety mindset, health and hygiene, ethics, values, respect for people, civic sense, and sustainable habits, thus helping them grow into responsible and good corporate citizens. Through this partnership, we reaffirm our commitment to developing future-ready talent and advancing Toyota Kirloskar Motor’s vision of ‘Grow India and Grow with India’ and mission of ‘Producing Happiness for All.’

Since its inception in 2001, Toyota Kirloskar Motor has been actively engaged in community development across key focus areas — Education, Environment, Road Safety, Skill Development, Health & Hygiene, and Disaster Management.
