During the inauguration, the Local Pastor of EBCC, Goutanlian, dedicated the centre to the Almighty. Delivering his speech, CDS president Mr. Lianzamung Tonsing said that the initiative is a joint effort of CDS, INDIGO CSR and Vishan Hospitality, who will work together to make the programme a success.

Mr. Tonsing further stated that since the training is sponsored by INDIGO CSR, students will not have to bear any costs. “It will be free training with assured placement opportunities for the youth,” he said. He added that Vishan Hospitality — a well-known organisation with expertise across India — will provide both skill training and placement, making it a valuable opportunity for participants.

Centre Manager Miss Chingbiakhoih said the training is mainly targeted at youth between 18 and 30 years who have passed Class XII or higher. She stressed the need for regular attendance and dedication, adding that more batches will be introduced as the programme is designed to be continuous. She also highlighted that this is INDIGO CSR’s first such initiative in the entire Northeast region.
