Dalmia Cements organise training prog for masons in Pondy

Chennai, Jul 15 (UNI) The cement manufacturing major Dalmia Cements (Bharat) Ltd today organised a special training programme for masons at Pondicherry to upgrade their skills.

A company release said here, the training programme would cover, among other things, the list of stringent quality measures followed at every stage by Dalmia Cements to produce lump-free quality cement, correct ratios of cement, sand, blue metal and water to be used for different applications, how to avoid micro-cracks and achieve superior finish and addressing masons' queries related to construction.

After an assessment of their skill levels by a technical team, the company would certify the masons.

Dalmia Cements Senior Executive Director(Marketing) Deepak Thombre said "Customers are increasingly looking into all aspects of construction. Today's consumer is as much involved in the choice of cement brand and structure as he is in the aesthetics of his dream home. However, he has no scientific way to evaluate the skills of masons, who are central to the quality of construction. We believe that the Certified Mason Training program will go a long way in fulfilling this need." "As a thought leader in cement, it is essential for us to innovate and value-add to consumers," he said.

Apart from fulfilling a latent need, the company, through this programme seeks to instill best practices in masonry and civil work to achieve a better quality of construction, he added.

As part of this programme, the certified masons will have access to Dalmia Cements technical team on a regular basis. This will help them build on their existing capabilities and fine tune their skills further, thus enabling them to translate their customers' dream into reality, the release added.
