The students from local government schools were invited ahead of International Women’s Day
For 25 girl students from Vadakupattu and Chennakuppam government schools in Tamil Nadu, the first day of March was a day of discovery and inspiration. They were invited by Renault Nissan Automotive India Private Limited (RNAIPL), for a special factory visit. The visit was part of the International Women’s Day celebration, which aims to empower and inspire young girls to pursue their dreams and aspirations.
Embracing this year’s International Women’s Day theme of ‘Inspire Inclusion’, RNAIPL is committed to empowering young minds through visits and workshops showcasing careers in automotive manufacturing.
The girl students, who were accompanied by four teachers, were greeted by the leadership team of RNAIPL and given a brief introduction to the company and its history. They were then shown the lineup of RNAIPL cars and allowed to touch and feel the cars, experience them, and understand the mechanics of the cars.
The highlight of the visit was a 50-minute tour of the Vehicle and Powertrain Assembly shopfloors at RNAIPL, where the girl students got to witness the car manufacturing process firsthand. The tour was led by women employees of RNAIPL, who explained the various steps and stages of production and answered the queries of the curious and enthusiastic students. The girl students also took notes of the explanations and showed keen interest in learning more about the industry.
After the tour, the students and the RNAIPL employees had an interactive session. Mr. Keerthi Prakash, Managing Director of RNAIPL, addressed the students and emphasized the importance of education and hard work for achieving success. He also praised the women employees of RNAIPL for their dedication and contribution to the company and encouraged the girl students to look up to them as role models.
The session continued with a breakout session, where the women employees of RNAIPL shared their personal stories of growth and development in the company. They also motivated the students to pursue their passions and overcome the challenges they may face in their lives.
The visit was not only a fun and educational experience for the girl students, but also a meaningful and rewarding one for the RNAIPL employees. They felt proud to share their knowledge and skills with the young minds and to make a positive impact on their lives.
RNAIPL is committed to the sustainable development and wellbeing of the communities in its neighbourhood. Through its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programme, RNAIPL has supported infrastructure upgrade in several local schools including Vadakupattu and Chenakuppam.
