Students will be trained and given internships in the factories and facilities of Airbus
Following the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between Gati Shakti Vishwavidyalaya (GSV) Vadodara and European aviation company Airbus, the project has taken an important step forward with the launch of a B-Tech course in aviation.
Railways Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw recently announced that the first B-Tech course in aviation, in partnership with Airbus, has commenced.
Sharing details of the course structure, Vaishnaw said, “A batch of 40 students will undertake the first B-Tech course at the Gati Shakti Vishwavidyalaya, and their whole tuition and lodging expense, amounting to Rs.2.5 lakh/per annum will be borne by Airbus in form of scholarships.”
The students will also be trained and given internships in the factories and facilities of Airbus,” he added and noted that this will generate a strong workforce of skilled professionals in driving the country’s aviation sector.
He also explained how the ‘industry-academia partnership’ will help in creating a committed workforce for the transport sector and how they will become an ‘indispensable’ force in times to come.
The purpose behind setting up the university was to churn out ‘industry-ready’ graduates, who would go on to steer the country’s fast-expanding transport and logistics sector.
The aviation giant Airbus will also build a Centre of Excellence at the Gati Shakti Vishwavidalaya, which would lead to a generation of about 15,000 direct and indirect employment opportunities in the sector.
Gati Shakti Vishwavidyalaya was established in Gujarat’s Vadodara in 2018, to nurture and prepare a dedicated workforce for the transportation sector ranging from railways, highways, waterways, shipping and ports, and also the aviation sector.
