As part of our commitment to skill development, we extended our outreach to government school students, providing them with essential training in the "Basics of Computer." Additionally, we engaged students from various government polytechnics in skill development programs focused on 3D printing, design, and scanning. We also conducted training sessions for job seekers in areas such as "Industrial Lathe," "Universal Milling Machine," and "Radial Drill Machine."
In a significant step, the "IDEA Cell" was inaugurated along with PWD students. This cell has submitted a proposal for DST funding for Braille technology for the Visually Impaired and has formed partnerships with nearby NGOs to address the challenges faced by the local PWD community through assistive technology.
Our "EDC Cell" provides alumni and students with opportunities to set up businesses on campus, with a vision to establish an incubation facility and a section 8 company on campus. This cell encourages students to present innovative ideas, fostering their participation in business incubation challenges.
We are excited to embark on this journey of innovation, skill development, and empowerment as we continue to nurture the next generation of leaders and technocrats. Stay tuned for the remarkable developments that will unfold within our institution.
