Adani Skills and Education (ASE) cut the ribbon beside the university main gate on Sunday, with Gujarat Governor Acharya Devvrat presiding over the ceremony. The new facility promises hands‑on training for more than 10,000 students each year, a figure that dwarfs the current supply of green‑energy specialists in the region.
The curriculum is a mash‑up of theory and practice: Solar PV and wind power systems, hybrid arrays, battery storage, SCADA, IoT‑based grid solutions, and industrial automation. Students will spend equal time in classrooms, labs and on the ground, simulating real‑world installations in a 538‑sq‑km testbed that mirrors Adani’s Khavda 30‑GW park.
Karan Adani, the company’s director, said the sector would shape India’s future, adding that the CoE would open pathways for students to land jobs both at home and abroad. CEO Robin Bhowmik noted that while renewable projects are booming, the talent pipeline has lagged, and this partnership will bring industry needs straight into the classroom.
The launch comes amid a national push to hit 500 GW of non‑fossil capacity by 2030. In the past two years, Adani’s green initiatives in Kutch have created more than 21,000 direct and indirect jobs, a number that local officials say is a model for the rest of the country.
A 16‑year‑old from Bhuj, who will join the first cohort, explained that he’s excited to learn how to maintain a wind turbine, hoping to help his family’s small farm diversify into solar power. The CoE’s emphasis on practical skills aims to keep students from the classroom to the field without the gap that currently exists.
Ahead of the first intake in September, the centre will partner with local industry for internship placements, and the university has already earmarked a seed fund to support student‑led start‑ups in green tech. The initiative signals a coordinated push to transform Kutch into a green‑energy hub, with hands‑on talent feeding the next generation of renewable infrastructure.
