The courses would leverage GM's global resources and take advantage of expertise at GM's manufacturing facility in Halol, Gujarat, and the GM Technical Center in Bangalore.

GM India would also contribute to upgrading the existing infrastructure at the institute and assist in providing other course-related facilities.   
 
The State Industries Minister Saurabh Patel said, "With the massive inflow of investment in industrial and infrastructure projects in recent years, a large pool of industry responsive talented manpower is required at different levels. The program we are announcing today would help provide the skills required to ensure that Gujarat remains a favorable destination for domestic and foreign investors."
 
Karl Slym, President and Managing Director of General Motors India said, "Our public-private partnership would enable us to share the cost required for upgrading facilities for introducing new courses, providing training to students, and assisting in designing the course content and securing external faculty.  We would also sponsor trainees as apprentices in our organisation".
