Tata Hitachi has recently inaugurated its Operator training Center at Dharwad in Karnataka. R V Deshpande, Minister for Large and Medium Scale Industries, Government of Karnataka, inaugurated the Center. The inauguration was also graced by Vinay Kulkarni - Minister for Mines and Geology, Government of Karnataka.

Spread over an area of 8 acres, the land for the Operator Training Center project was cleared by KUM - Bangalore in August 2008. The possession certificate was issued in May 2009 by KIADB, Dharwad.

The center is in close proximity to the Tata Hitachi Dharwad plant which manufactures smaller excavators (under 20 T class) and wheeled equipment.

Imparting training on machine operating and servicing skills for excavators and backhoe loaders to the unskilled, unemployed youth in and around Karnataka, the Operator Training Center aims to enhance employability in the construction equipment industry both in India and abroad.
