Engineering and construction conglomerate Larsen & Toubro (L&T) on Sunday said it has launched a programme to train rural women in wielding technology, traditionally a male-dominated workspace.
"L&T's Vadodara Heavy Engineering Works (VHEW), has launched a unique initiative to train rural women students in welding technology," the company said in a statement.
It is a unique program initiated around International Women's Day to enhance the technical skillsets of women students from socially and economically underprivileged sections, it added.
The company's Senior Vice President and Head, Heavy Engineering Y S Trivedi said: "L&T is known for best-in-class welding technology and talent for manufacturing most complex of heavy machinery, process plant equipment and nuclear systems. In line with the theme for International Women's Day 2020 this technical curriculum will provide equal opportunities to young women for the enabled world."
