IIT Palakkad Technology IHub Foundation (IPTIF) has launched the ‘i-Skill’ initiative to train India’s workforce in Cyber-physical systems. The main aim of the initiative is to empower 2 million youth with adequate skills to enable their employment in technological sectors, to improve productivity, and capacity building to prepare them for the evolving Cyber-physical technologies.
As part of this initiative, IPTIF’s Skill Development Ready Centers (i-SDRC) will be established in engineering, arts, and science colleges besides ITIs across all districts of India to offer multidisciplinary training and capacity building programs for next-generation technocrats, engineers, and scientists, the notice reads.
