with the Union Bank of India, proposed a cluster-specific scheme with a
concessional rate of interest and an attractive interest subvention scheme to
provide low-cost funding, enabling artisans to invest in better machinery and
scale up their businesses. Subsidised sanction loan letters were issued to 35
beneficiaries, through this collaboration with the Union Bank of India. The
benefits are as follows: An MoU was also signed between the Government of
Maharashtra, represented by the Additional Chief Secretary, Skills, Employment,
Entrepreneurship and Innovation Department (SEEID), and Vadhvan Port Project
Limited (VPPL). The agreement has established a collaborative framework under
which SEEID and VPPL will work together as per mutually agreed terms for the
Vadhvan Port Skilling Program. Unmesh Sharad Wagh, IRS,
Chairperson, JNPA and CMD, VPPL, said, “These initiatives are not
standalone efforts — they are part of a focused approach to align local talent
with emerging opportunities. By bridging the gap between knowledge and
application, we are enabling individuals to build sustainable livelihoods and
contribute meaningfully to the region’s economic momentum. The strength of any
large-scale infrastructure project lies not just in its physical footprint, but
in the ecosystem it nurtures. Through these interventions, we aim to ensure
that growth reaches the grassroots, creating long-term value for both people
and industry.”
