<p class=”p1″ style=”line-height: 20px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-left: 0px; color: #636363; font-size: 1.08333em; font-family: ‘Open Sans’, sans-serif; text-align: justify;”><span class=”s1″>The Indian government has&nbsp;<a style=”color: #85d2eb; transition: 0.8s ease-in-out; font-weight: bold;” href=”https://www.iacharya.in/site/” target=”_blank”><span class=”s2″>announced</span></a>&nbsp;the launch of an online training program to help young individuals turn into professional solar power technicians. The Solar Energy Corporation of India recently reported that a Chennai-based company has been roped-in to implement this online program.</span></p>
<p class=”p1″ style=”line-height: 20px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-left: 0px; color: #636363; font-size: 1.08333em; font-family: ‘Open Sans’, sans-serif; text-align: justify;”><span class=”s1″>For just INR 599 ($8.79), anyone with an internet connection can enroll in this online program and learn the various aspects related to solar power generation. Among the various topics that will be covered in the course are the basics of photovoltaic power systems, electromagnetic spectrum and radiation, designing solar power systems, testing and commissioning of solar power plants, and operation and maintenance.</span></p>
<p class=”p1″ style=”line-height: 20px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-left: 0px; color: #636363; font-size: 1.08333em; font-family: ‘Open Sans’, sans-serif; text-align: justify;”><span class=”s1″>Successful candidates shall be issued a certificate from the Ministry of New &amp; Renewable Energy, Government of India, which would open up vast opportunities for them. The program is likely a part of the Skilled India mission announced by Prime Minister Modi that aims at creating millions of jobs in the country.</span></p>
<p class=”p1″ style=”line-height: 20px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-left: 0px; color: #636363; font-size: 1.08333em; font-family: ‘Open Sans’, sans-serif; text-align: justify;”><span class=”s1″>The renewable energy secto, especially solar power, presents a massive jobs creation opportunity for India&rsquo;s youth. The government has announced plans to have 175 gigawatts of renewable energy capacity operational by March 2022 which includes 100 gigawatts of solar power capacity. At the end of the November 2016, the renewable energy capacity stood at less than 47 gigawatts, with solar power capacity at just below 9 gigawatts.</span></p>
<p class=”p1″ style=”line-height: 20px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-left: 0px; color: #636363; font-size: 1.08333em; font-family: ‘Open Sans’, sans-serif; text-align: justify;”><span class=”s1″>According to a&nbsp;<a style=”color: #85d2eb; transition: 0.8s ease-in-out; font-weight: bold;” href=”https://cleantechnica.com/2016/03/23/india-solar-power-push-may-produce-over-1-million-jobs/” target=”_blank”><span class=”s2″>report</span></a>&nbsp;issued by the Natural Resources and Defense Council (NRDC) last year, India may end up creating over a million new jobs in its endeavor to have 100 GW of operational solar power capacity by March 2022.</span></p>
<p class=”p1″ style=”line-height: 20px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-left: 0px; color: #636363; font-size: 1.08333em; font-family: ‘Open Sans’, sans-serif; text-align: justify;”><span class=”s1″>Around 210,800 site engineers and designers would be required to set the large-scale as well as rooftop solar power systems rolling. Around 624,600 semi-skilled workers would be needed for the construction and on-field execution of the projects. To monitor ongoing operations at the power plants, and their maintenance, another 182,400 semi-skilled workers would be needed. Thus, a total of 1,017,800 jobs are expected be created if India indeed manages to set up a cumulative operational capacity of 100 gigawatts by 2022.</span></p>
