FADA
Council Meeting at Jammu In keeping with its policy of rotating meetings in various parts of the country, FADA held its 221st Council meeting at Hotel Asia in Jammu on 13th May 2005. The Council Meeting was preceded by a media briefing by President FADA. Media briefing on the objectives and activities of FADA and highlighting current issues of concern to retail automobile trade, received a good coverage in the local press and electronic media. One of the important decisions taken at the Council Meeting was the Council's green signal to a pilot project to be launched by FADA at Mumbai and Pune, wherein FADA will associate with institutions of repute in these cities for imparting training to diploma holders and graduates, who after successful completion of the 6-month course comprising classroom coaching and on-the-job training at automobile dealerships, would be adequately equipped to cater to needs of automobile dealerships and their workshops as Sales Executive, Service Supervisor and Spare Parts Manager. Since automobile dealers across the country are facing the shortage of trained manpower suitable for automobile dealership and workshop operations in view of the tremendous growth of automotive industry in the last 5-6 years, the programme will be undertaken all over India, on successful completion of the pilot project. The institutions which will be accredited by FADA for training candidates specifically for automobile dealerships and their workshop operations will function under the close supervision of FADA and will impart training strictly in accordance with the course curricula designed by FADA. Such a programme is expected to be immensely beneficial to automobile dealers because of ready availability of trained manpower suiting their needs. After the Council Meeting, FADA members visited Jamkash Vehicleades - the dealership for sales, service and spares of Maruti Vehicles, owned and managed by Mr Devender Singh Rana, a Council Member of FADA. In the evening, a dinner was hosted by Mr Rana in the honour of Council Members & their families. A large number of Automobile dealers in Jammu along with their spouses were present on the occasion. |
