AICTE to soon set up drone labs across 47 technical institutions, details here
It ensures that advanced technical education and emerging technologies are accessible across the country
All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) will soon establish 47
AVPL AeroVision Drone Labs in AICTE-approved institutions nationwide.
This comes after AICTE signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with
AVPL. The initiative marks a significant leap in equipping students and
faculty with practical knowledge and cutting-edge skills in drone
technology, paving the way for India’s leadership in this emerging
domain.
One of the selected institutions is from Daman and Diu, an
inclusion that underscores AICTE’s commitment to promoting innovation in
untouched and underserved regions. This remarkable achievement
demonstrates AICTE’s resolve to ensure that advanced technical education
and emerging technologies are accessible across all corners of the
nation.
Prof TG Sitharam, chairman, AICTE, said, “The first 47 institutions
selected for the first phase of this visionary initiative. The
inclusion of Daman and Diu is especially noteworthy, symbolising AICTE’s
dedication to promoting innovation in less explored areas. Together, we
are keeping pace with the future and actively shaping it, contributing
to the vision of Unnat and Viksit Bharat.”
Prof Rajive Kumar, secretary, AICTE said,
“Institutions from every state and region, including tier 2 and tier 3
cities, have eagerly embraced this opportunity. The selection of 47
institutions reflects our commitment to building an innovation ecosystem
across the country.”
Preet Sandhuu, founder and managing director, AVPL, said, “These
labs are designed to create a skilled ecosystem in drone technology,
preparing professionals not only for drone piloting but also for
assembly, repair, and advanced technical roles. This initiative will
address the rising demand for skilled talent in a rapidly expanding
industry.”
