The Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship (MSDE) takes immense pride to join hands with Bharat Dynamics Limited (BDL), under the aegis of Ministry of Defense for creating a robust apprenticeship training framework to address the need for skilled and future-ready workforce in the Central Public Sector Undertaking and Industries.
More than 250 apprentices have been engaged in the BDL facility in Hyderabad where ‘Astra’ missile, the state-of-the-art air missileis being manufactured. At this facility, three out of five components of these missiles are being produced. A team from MSDE visited the facility recently and interacted with the apprentices who extended their gratitude towards Shri Dharmendra Pradhan, Honourable Minister for Skill Development and Entrepreneurship.

Extending a token of appreciation to Shri Dharmendra Pradhan, Hon’ble Minister of Education, Skill Development and Entrepreneurship, Shri Atul Kumar Tiwari, Secretary, Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship said, “I congratulate the apprentices for getting trained by one of India’s largest manufacturers in ammunitions and missile systems in the country, BDL, helping them expand opportunities in both- traditional and new-age skills”.
