Gender diversity
“We are currently providing the latest technology and infrastructure support and improving gender diversity in these fields; hence, we have announced plans to hire 200 women ITI pass-out students of the Electrician & Electronics stream every year for Schneider Electric Mysuru Campus. This will make them economically stronger in society, and in the future, we will set up similar electrical lab facilities in other government I.T.I’s across the Mysuru district,” said Deepak Sharma, Zone President, Greater India, and MD & CEO, Schneider Electric India.
