Drone Training at ITIs - Chitta - 01-26-2021
Following is an excerpt from https://www.edexlive.com/happening/2021/jan/26/students-of-four-itis-in-odisha-will-be-trained-in-all-things-drones-thanks-to-this-ahmedabad-based-17644.html .
Quote:Drones are the future and in order to captalise on them ASAP, IG Drones signed an MoU with four Industrial Training Institutes (ITIs) namely Bhubaneswar, Cuttack, Behrampur and Hinjilicut, Hinjilicut being the home constituency of Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik. Entailing this MoU, the Ahmedabad-based start-up will establish the Drone Centre of Excellency at the ITIs to train students in all aspects of drones.
…
Om Prakash Das and Bodhisattwa Sanghapriya are the founders of IG Drones, an initiative that was started in Odisha and has five offices across India now. They have been in the sector for three years and count Adani, Aditya Birla and the state governments of Gujarat, Assam and West Bengal among their clientele.
…
The start-up will be offered a 40,00 square feet space at ITI which will have patented drone simulators (because industrial drones are very expensive), assembly lines and two instructors from IG Drones. They will also help the students at ITI get good jobs and fast-forward their career.
…
After the agreed-upon five years come to an end, the start-up will hand over these centres to the ITIs.
