<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung, India’s largest consumer electronics brand, today announced that 5,000 students in Tamil Nadu have been trained and certified under its flagship Samsung Innovation Campus (SIC) programme, reinforcing its commitment to building a future-ready workforce and supporting the state’s growing electronics and innovation ecosystem.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>SIC equips students with industry-relevant, future-tech skills across high-demand domains — Artificial Intelligence (2,200), Coding and Programming (1,700), Big Data (600) and Internet of Things (500) — enabling them to transition more effectively from education to employment. In addition, it focuses on soft skills to boost employability, combining technical training with modules on problem-solving, communication and workplace readiness.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Tamil Nadu accounts for nearly one-fourth of the 20,000 youth trained across India under the programme, underlining the state’s importance as a key hub for technology, manufacturing and skilled talent development. Notably, 71% of the participants in Tamil Nadu are women, reflecting strong progress in expanding access to technology education and enabling more women to participate in the digital economy.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Training and certification were conducted in collaboration with leading institutions across the state, including University of Madras, Anna University, Queen Mary’s College (Chennai), Mohamed Sathak AJ College of Engineering (Chennai), and KPR Institute of Engineering and Technology (Coimbatore).</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter wp-image-31319 size-full" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/in/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/cover.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="564" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/in/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/cover.jpg 1000w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/in/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/cover-728x410.jpg 728w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/in/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/cover-998x563.jpg 998w" sizes="(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“India’s growth story is being shaped by its young, skilled workforce, with Tamil Nadu playing a leading role in this transformation. As technology reshapes industries, the need for a future-ready workforce is more critical than ever. Building digital skills at scale, while ensuring inclusion, will be key to sustaining India’s growth momentum. As Samsung completes 30 years in India, we are enabling youth to develop capabilities aligned with the evolving needs of the global economy through Samsung Innovation Campus,” said <strong>Shubham Mukherjee, Head of CSR and Corporate Communications, Samsung Southwest Asia</strong>.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The programme continues to expand its reach, training and certifying 20,000 youth across the country. Nationally, SIC has witnessed around 48% women participation, reflecting Samsung’s commitment to building an inclusive and equitable technology ecosystem. The programme is implemented in collaboration with ESSCI and the TSSC through accredited training partners.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>SIC, together with initiatives such as Samsung Solve for Tomorrow and Samsung DOST, is helping strengthen India’s digital skilling ecosystem—empowering young innovators to learn, build, and shape the future through technology. Marking 30 years in India, Samsung continues to strengthen its commitment to advancing education and digital inclusion.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Strengthening its community engagement in Tamil Nadu’s key manufacturing corridor, Samsung India today announced a new skill development initiative for women in the Sriperumbudur region, aimed at enhancing livelihood opportunities and supporting local economic participation.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Bal Raksha Bharat (Save the Children, India) to roll out a structured vocational training programme for 200 women from Santhavellore and Sirumangadu villages in Kanchipuram district.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The 12-week programme, scheduled between April and September 2026, will provide hands-on training in professional tailoring, followed by government-recognised certification. Participants will also receive sewing machines upon completion, enabling them to pursue income-generating opportunities and micro-entrepreneurship.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“Tamil Nadu has consistently been a leader in industrial development and skill creation. At Samsung, we are proud to contribute to this vision by enabling women in the Sriperumbudur region with skills that can drive self-reliance and entrepreneurship. Our focus is on creating long-term, sustainable impact at the grassroots, aligned with the state’s broader goals of inclusive economic growth,” said <strong>SH Yoon, President, Samsung Chennai Plant</strong>.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The programme is part of Samsung’s broader CSR commitment in India and reflects its continued focus on inclusive development in regions where it operates. Sriperumbudur, one of Tamil Nadu’s fastest-growing industrial hubs, has seen significant transformation over the years, and initiatives like these aim to ensure that local communities benefit from this growth.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>By investing in grassroots skilling and women’s empowerment, Samsung is contributing to Tamil Nadu’s broader vision of inclusive industrial development and strengthening the socio-economic fabric of communities around its manufacturing ecosystem. Marking 30 years in India, Samsung continues to strengthen its commitment to advancing education and digital inclusion.</p>

<p><img class="aligncenter wp-image-30721 size-full" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/in/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Logo-PII.jpg" alt="" width="1462" height="348" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/in/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Logo-PII.jpg 1462w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/in/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Logo-PII-1000x238.jpg 1000w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/in/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Logo-PII-1024x244.jpg 1024w" sizes="(max-width: 1462px) 100vw, 1462px" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Before sunrise each day, buses roll out across villages and townships around Kancheepuram district, carrying hundreds of women to one of Tamil Nadu’s largest electronics manufacturing hubs — the Chennai plant of Samsung India.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>On the shop floor, amid assembly lines and testing units, these women are doing more than building devices. They are building futures.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>This year marks three decades of Samsung’s presence in India — a journey often measured in products, innovation and exports. But inside its Chennai facility, another milestone is visible: the growing number of women shaping the factory floor and redefining what manufacturing looks like in Tamil Nadu.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>For Kavya, part of the employee relations team, the plant is a space of growth. With a background in psychology, she works closely on employee well-being initiatives.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“Here, I’ve learned and evolved,” she says. “Colleagues become friends. The workplace feels like family.”</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>For Sangeeta, who has spent around a decade at the plant, the turning point was transportation. Long commutes once meant stress and safety concerns. Company-arranged door-to-door buses changed that.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“It gave me confidence,” she says. “When travel is safe, you can focus on your work.”</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div id="attachment_30822" style="width: 1010px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img class="wp-image-30822 size-full" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/in/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/cover-chennai.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="564" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/in/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/cover-chennai.jpg 1000w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/in/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/cover-chennai-728x410.jpg 728w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/in/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/cover-chennai-998x563.jpg 998w" sizes="(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" /><p class="wp-caption-text">[L-R] Sangeetha and Rekha from Samsung Chennai Plant have spent over a decade there.</p></div>
<p>Across Tamil Nadu’s industrial corridors, safe commuting has quietly become a key enabler for women entering manufacturing roles.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Then there is Rekha from the Visual Display line who has been with Samsung Plant in Chennai for last 18 years. Her motivation is simple: her mother.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“I want to give her everything she ever wished for,” she says.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Two decades of stable employment has allowed her to support her family with dignity — a sentiment echoed by many first-generation industrial workers in the region.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>As Tamil Nadu strengthens its position as an electronics manufacturing powerhouse, the image of the factory floor is evolving. In Sriperumbudur, women are present all across production, quality control and operations — contributing not just to output, but to communities.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Three decades into its India journey, the company’s progress in Chennai is reflected not only in scale, but in stories of independence, safety and self-belief — one shift at a time.</p>

<p>Nationally, Samsung Innovation Campus has achieved 44% women participation—reflecting Samsung’s focus on inclusive and equitable skilling. Beyond technical learning, participants receive soft skills training and placement support to strengthen employability and workplace readiness.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung, India’s largest consumer electronics brand, in partnership with the United Nations Global Compact Network India (UN GCNI), today launched ‘DigiArivu – Empowering Students Through Tech’, an education programme aimed at strengthening digital and Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) education in Tamil Nadu.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Through this initiative, Samsung will upgrade school infrastructure, enable STEM and digital learning, train teachers, and support holistic student development across 10 government schools in Kancheepuram and Ranipet districts of Tamil Nadu — benefiting over 3,000 students. As part of DigiArivu, Samsung will deploy a multi-layered, community-centric model to transform the learning ecosystem in tier-2 and tier-3 districts.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The programme has been designed based on UN GCNI’s research with state government-run schools, inputs from Samsung employees in the Sriperumbudur manufacturing plant and community members in the region to ensure that interventions address real on-ground needs.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The key focus areas include upgrading the existing learning ecosystem in schools through Building as Learning Aid (BaLA) designs followed by providing equipment for promoting digital learning among school children. The programme will introduce activity-based learning on STEM themes and teacher-training sessions. Samsung will also provide sports kits and set up libraries with Tamil, English and competitive-examination books. It will offer career guidance to Class 12 students, provide education expert speaker series and health awareness camps for the school children. The programme also entails celebration of important days and events at schools along with community members.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The launch event organized at The Anna Centenary Library in Kotturpuram, was graced by Thiru Dr. Anbil Mahesh Poyyamozhi, Honourable Minister for School Education, Government of Tamil Nadu; and District Collectors of Kancheepuram and Ranipet; reaffirming the state’s commitment to strengthening STEM education in the state and advancing digital inclusion.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“Samsung has always believed that technology becomes truly powerful when it expands access, opportunity, and confidence for young people everywhere. Through DigiArivu, we are creating a digitally-enabled learning environment that will help students in Tamil Nadu build future-ready skills, strengthen their curiosity, and participate fully in India’s fast-evolving digital economy. Our focus is not only on introducing technology, but on empowering teachers, uplifting communities, and ensuring that every child — regardless of background — can benefit from quality digital education. DigiArivu is another strong step in our ongoing commitment to ‘Powering Digital India’ and nurturing India’s future talent pipeline,&#8221; said <strong>SH Yoon, President, Samsung Chennai Plant</strong>.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“DigiArivu reflects what meaningful collaboration can achieve when business and society come together with a purpose. At UN Global Compact Network India, we are proud to partner with Samsung to advance STEM learning and digital access for children in government schools in Tamil Nadu. This initiative truly embodies the spirit of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) — ensuring that no child is left behind in India’s digital future,” said <strong>Ratnesh Jha, Executive Director, UN GCNI</strong>.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>In addition to DigiArivu, Samsung continues to strengthen youth skilling in Tamil Nadu through the Samsung Innovation Campus (SIC) programme. Under SIC, this year, Samsung is training 5,000 students in Tamil Nadu in high-demand future-tech domains such as Artificial Intelligence, Internet of Things, Big Data, and Coding &amp; Programming. The programme is being implemented in partnership with leading training and skilling organisations, enabling students across Tamil Nadu to gain industry-relevant technical skills and enhance their employability. Through SIC, Samsung is helping young learners in the state, prepare for careers in a rapidly developing future tech economy.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Shri Thiru Edappadi K. Palaniswami, Hon&#8217;ble Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, said, “Development on the healthcare front is the need of the hour today. We welcome support from Samsung India for helping us cater to the need for quality healthcare with Samsung Smart Healthcare initiative. Our government is working towards creating better medical facilities for the public and this collaboration with Samsung for the Smart Healthcare program will go a long way in fulfilling that vision.”</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“Samsung believes in transforming communities and creating a better life for people. We are pleased to partner with Tamil Nadu government to offer healthcare solutions with the effective use of technology. Through this collaboration, we aspire to provide many more people in the state and its adjoining areas easy access to advanced healthcare facilities. Samsung Smart Healthcare combines good infrastructure, latest technology and the best available medical expertise,” said Mr. Deepak Bhardwaj, Vice President, CSR, Samsung India.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>In the healthcare space, Samsung works across the entire value chain—tertiary, secondary and primary healthcare.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung Smart Healthcare program aims to support the Government’s efforts to benefit communities with limited access to quality healthcare across primary, secondary and tertiary levels.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>With innovative products such as digital ultrasound, digital radiology and accessories that facilitate healthcare intervention and multiple medical examinations, since 2015, Samsung has collaborated with 18 government hospitals across the country, catering to secondary and tertiary healthcare in different states.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>This partnership with Tamil Nadu government for 15 Samsung Smart Healthcare centres will cater to secondary healthcare in the state.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>At the primary level, Samsung has partnered with the Government of Karnataka to help the state efficiently manage its public healthcare facilities. Samsung has given over 1,000 Samsung Tab IRIS to the Public Health Centers (PHC) in the state to build their database in a digital format. The program helps in information support to Government to proactively intervene for improved health of citizens and target its welfare schemes more efficiently. Tab IRIS is the first commercial IRIS integrated tablet to be approved by UIDAI for Aadhaar and KYC verification.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Recently, Samsung India and Apollo Hospitals have signed a collaboration to jointly run the Samsung-Apollo Mobile Medical Care Unit Program to screen large sections of our population, especially under-privileged sections, for non-communicable diseases (NCDs). Mobile Medical Care Units (buses), fully loaded with the screening technology including ECG, Stress Test, Echocardiogram, Ultrasound, Mammogram, Pap Smear and blood sample collection will be operated in Tamil Nadu and Uttar Pradesh.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>So far, over 3.5 lakh patients from the economically and socially deprived sections of society have been impacted positively by Samsung Smart Healthcare centres across India. Doctors, technicians and radiologists are also trained to handle state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment and software.</p>
