A
joint initiative to train underprivileged youth, as certified Solar PV
Installers in Najafgarh, Delhi

New
Delhi, India, April 30, 2026  : Sungrow, the global leading PV inverter and
energy storage system provider, has collaborated with the Centre for CSR &
Sustainability Excellence (CCSE), the social arm of Fiinovation, to launch a
Solar PV Installer Training Programme in Najafgarh, New Delhi. This initiative,
under Sungrow’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) mandate, aims to empower
underprivileged youth with technical skills and create green employment
opportunities in India’s growing solar sector.

The
partnership signing ceremony was officially held at the Fiinovation’s Delhi
office. Representatives in attendance included Mr. Varun Haritash from Sungrow,
Mr. Debopam Mukherjee and Mr. Diwan Faiz from CCSE, as well as Father George
and Mr. Pardeep Jindal from Don Bosco Tech Society.

Targeting
youth aged 18 to 30 from economically weaker sections – including women and
those without formal education – the programme will deliver 360 hours of
structured training per batch (30 participants) in Najafgarh, with outreach
extending to peri-urban and rural areas of South-West Delhi. The curriculum
covers solar PV installation, system operations, and maintenance, aligned with
national skill standards and complemented by practical field exposure,
certification, and placement support. A core target is to achieve at least 70%
employment or self-employment for participants within 3–6 months of course
completion.

As
part of its CSR commitment, the initiative focuses on expanding access to
industry-relevant vocational training, enabling inclusive livelihood
opportunities, and building a skilled workforce to support India’s transition
to clean energy. By prioritizing underserved communities, the programme aims to
bridge opportunity gaps and create pathways for sustainable income and
long-term economic mobility.

clean energy must also create real opportunities for  communities. Varun Haritash, Senior

a strong track record in CSR implementation spanning livelihood, health,
education, and environmental sustainability, CCSE contributes a structured,
outcome-driven methodology to the initiative. It is responsible for monitoring,
tracking progress and delivering measurable results across the programme cycle.

“Skill
development in the clean energy sector is no longer an aspiration — it is a
present-day need. Through this collaboration, we are creating meaningful
opportunities for young people who have historically been outside the formal
economy. Our focus is on outcomes that extend well beyond the duration of the
programme.”

the ground, the programme is being implemented in partnership with Don Bosco
Tech Society, a nationally recognized organization with extensive experience in
vocational training and youth skilling initiatives across India. With a strong
track record in delivering industry-aligned training programmes and
facilitating employment linkages, Don Bosco Tech Society will support
beneficiary mobilization, community outreach, and local implementation of the
project.

“Quality
vocational training must be both accessible and aligned with industry demand.
Through this initiative, we aim to equip young people with practical skills and
connect them to real employment opportunities in the growing solar sector.”

India’s
solar energy sector has expanded considerably over the past decade, driven by
national policy targets and growing private investment. Yet the availability of
trained technicians at the grassroots level continues to lag behind industry
demand. This initiative directly addresses that gap by building a pool of
certified solar installers from communities that are geographically close to
the work but have had limited access to formal training.

By
combining the industry expertise of Sungrow, the implementation capabilities of
CCSE, and the grassroots reach of Don Bosco Tech Society, the initiative
creates a scalable model for skill-based livelihood generation in India’s clean
energy sector.
