Further, we will continue to inaugurate more centres in other parts of the country.”
HMSI’s Skill Enhancement Centre at Bengaluru (Hosur Main Road, Hombegowda Nagar) has a fully functional workshop with two-wheelers and service infrastructure and latest tools & technology to give practical training to students on technical aspects of two-wheelers maintenance and repair.
