Maruti Suzuki India Ltd (MSIL), in collaboration with the Haryana State Board of Technical Education and Haryana IGNOU Society for Community Education and Training, unveiled a higher education scheme to offer for its shop floor technicians on Tuesday.

The programme called Gyanuday will offer a three-year-diploma in engineering and aims at enhancing the skill-sets of employees. Technicians who have served at Maruti’s Gurgaon and Manesar plants for at least three years will be eligible for the programme. It offers a diploma through part-time classes in mechanical, electrical and engineering streams.

Further, 50 per cent of the course fee would be subsidised by the company, while interest-free loan would be offered to some employees on the basis of merit.
