The National Institute of Solar Energy (NISE) is an autonomous institute under India’s Ministry of New
and Renewable Energy. It was recently established by upgrading the old Solar Energy Centre. NISE is
located on the Gurgaon-Faridabad Road in Gwal Pahari, Gurgaon, and serves as the main center for
research and technology development in solar energy.
As part of its skill development initiatives, NISE is the main agency for the “Suryamitra Skill Development
Programme (SSDP).” This program aims to train young people for jobs in the growing field of solar energy,
including the installation, operation, and maintenance of solar power projects in India and abroad. The SSDP
also helps candidates become entrepreneurs in the solar energy sector. It is a 600-hour residential program
based on a specific qualification standard (SCG/Q0101).
The Suryamitra Project is a visionary initiative launched by the Government of India to address the growing
demand for skilled professionals in the solar energy sector. As India accelerates its commitment to renewable
energy, Suryamitra Project, a pioneering initiative by Vision India, focuses on developing a skilled workforce
to support the solar industry. This initiative provides comprehensive training, certification, and employment
opportunities, ensuring that individuals are well-prepared to contribute to the country's renewable energy
goals.
