New Delhi, July 15 (IBNS) : The Chancellor of the Exchequer, George Osborne, UK, during his recent visit to India met construction equipment manufacturer JCB engineers in New Delhi on July, 8.

The meeting with the JCB engineers took place at the Delhi residence of the British High Commissioner Sir James Bevan during a joint visit by the Chancellor, Foreign Secretary William Hague and other ministers.

Swati Gupta, Kavita Verma, Hem Maurya, Divya Patsaria and two ladies going by the same name Priyanka Bansal, have all achieved Diplomas in either Mechanical or Electronic Engineering as they strive to further their careers at JCB's Indian headquarters in Ballabgarh, near Delhi.

The group - all aged in their early 20s - have progressed to hold a variety of roles including Assembly Line Leaders to Assistant Managers.

Vipin Sondhi, MD & CEO, JCB India Ltd. said: “The employees meeting the Chancellor have gone through an exhaustive one-year training programme at the JCB factory in Ballabgarh to become engineers. Their hard work is paying off and they are determined to study further to advance their careers in what is a very male dominated industry. We have an unwavering focus on commitment to training and people development which will only intensify in the coming years.”

JCB India Limited, Ballabgarh (Haryana) is a fully owned subsidiary of JC Bamford Excavators Limited, UK, one of the world's leading manufacturers of earthmoving and construction equipment. Worldwide, JCB produces over 300 different models, which are sold in over 150 countries.
