Litmus launches 21-day skill improvement programme

Kathmandu, Jan. 21

Litmus Industries Limited has officially launched its Skill Improvement Programme (SIP) for electricians.

It is a specialised skill-upgrading initiative to enhance education, competency and safety, the company informed in a statement on Wednesday. The programme has been rolled out initially in Kathmandu, with plans in place to expand it nationwide in the near future.

“The SIP has been designed exclusively for electricians who use Litmus products, underlining the company’s commitment to supporting customers who rely on its solutions. Through this initiative, Litmus aims not only to enhance technical expertise but also to contribute to safer electrical practices and improved installation standards across the country,” said the company.

The intensive 20-day training programme combines theoretical knowledge with practical application. Key areas of focus include industrial electrical wiring and installation, motor control systems, earthing and lightning protection, generator systems, and other essential hands-on skills.

By strengthening professional competencies, the programme seeks to reduce electrical hazards and improve the overall quality of electrical infrastructure.

Training is being conducted in collaboration with Balaju School of Engineering and Technology, an institution affiliated with the Council for Technical Education and Vocational Training (CTEVT).

The company said that this partnership ensures that the programme delivers structured, standardised and industry-relevant technical education.

The programme was formally inaugurated during a signing ceremony between Sakshi Gupta, Director of Litmus Industries, and Sushil Kumar Shrestha, Principal of Balaju School of Engineering and Technology.

Gupta described the initiative as a responsibility towards both society and customers, emphasising its role in promoting safer wiring practices. Likewise, Shrestha welcomed the collaboration, noting that the programme would positively impact society by enhancing electricians’ skills, professionalism and safety awareness.
