SANY India Powers First-Ever All-Women Excavator Training Batch at National Academy of Construction, Andhra Pradesh

Mumbai: In a landmark step towards gender inclusion and skill development in India’s construction sector, SANY India has enabled the first-ever all-women batch of excavator operators at the National Academy of Construction (NAC), Andhra Pradesh. The pioneering batch of 22 women trainees successfully completed their certification in March 2026, aligning with International Women’s Day and reinforcing the programme’s strong women-empowerment focus.

The comprehensive training programme was conducted on SANY SY120 excavator, with the machine facilitated by SANY India to NAC to support hands-on, industry-ready skilling. The training syllabus was designed by SANY India, ensuring alignment with global best practices and real-world operational requirements. To maintain the highest standards of training delivery, NAC trainers were trained and certified by SANY India before leading the programme for the women trainees.

Upon successful completion, the participants received certification under the Infrastructure Equipment Skill Council (IESC) framework, strengthening their employability across infrastructure and construction projects nationwide. NAC will also facilitate placement support for all graduating trainees, enabling a smooth transition from training to employment.

Empowering Women, Building the Nation

This initiative reflects SANY India’s commitment to inclusive growth, skill development, and nation-building. By providing access to high-quality training, modern equipment, and recognized certification, the programme opens new pathways for women to enter and thrive in traditionally male-dominated roles, contributing directly to India’s infrastructure ambitions.
