The need for continuous improvement is of vital importance. DICV is committed to this effect in line with its goal to provide high quality and reliability to the Indian truck customer. Hence the need to focus on content, commitment, character and communication as the strong pillars for proper development”.

DICV employees will receive over 840 hours of combined practical and theory training. At the end of the course, they will be certified in “Assembly Techniques”.
Dr. Visalakshi commented: “This MoU between DICV and PSG Polytechnic follows the path of several initiatives by DOTE that strive to improve technical education in the State. It will add momentum to technical education that will help the growing industry and handling of new technologies”.
