BluPine Energy, a leading renewable energy services company in India, has launched impactful initiatives to empower communities around its operational sites and promote sustainable development in Punjab. These new initiatives include installing solar-powered lighting, establishing a Mini Science Centre, and providing vocational training for youth in three villages in Punjab's Mansa district (Khaira Khurd, Mankhera, and Jhanda Kalan).
The vocational training programmes, which will run for six months, are designed to empower 120 students, with 50 per cent female participants. BluPine Energy's efforts extend beyond training to provide placement opportunities for successful candidates. These programmes are part of BluPine Energy's commitment to fostering economic development, gender inclusion, and skills enhancement at the grassroots level. The organisation also aims to bridge skills gaps, specifically uplifting marginalised individuals by equipping them with industry-relevant skills.
Beyond vocational training, BluPine Energy is investing in educational infrastructure to benefit local communities. The initiative includes establishing mini science centres in local schools for students from grades 8 to 10, fostering scientific curiosity and practical learning in classrooms. Additionally, BluPine Energy is installing solar-powered streetlights in these villages, significantly enhancing community safety, mobility, and sustainability in public spaces.
Sanjeev Bhatia, CFO of BluPine Energy, inaugurated all the centres and stated, "Our mission at BluPine Energy is not only to advance renewable energy but also to empower communities with opportunities for sustainable growth." He further said, "These initiatives in Punjab are an important step toward building strong, self-sufficient communities by equipping youth with valuable skills and improving education. At BluPine, we're proud to support these communities in creating a sustainable future where everyone has the chance to succeed. This project goes beyond renewable energy, offering vocational training and building key infrastructure for education and safety. By focusing on gender equality and inclusion, we're helping to create a diverse workforce that drives local growth. Together, we're working towards a brighter, more equitable society for the future."
