Dispur, Rongili Barta: Today the Hon’ble Vice-Chairman Ramen Deka visited Jawaharlal Nehru College, Boko and handed over the demand draft for first installment to implement the project “Survey for analysis of the potential of introducing robotics training in government provincialized schools of Kamrup (Metro) & Kamrup district of Assam” at the College today at Boko. It needs to be mentioned that SITA had signed the Memorandum of Agreement on May 5 last and today it had handed over the first installment of rupees ten lakhs to start the project. The demand draft was handed over by the Hon’ble Vice- Chairman Ramen Deka to Sri Tapan Dutta, Principal of Jawaharlal Nehru College, Boko. The project aims to conduct a survey to access the need of Robotics training in the provincialised government schools of Assam through creating an environment of competitiveness, by generating an ecosystem that fosters innovation, curiosity and a workplace where students are exposed to new edge technology. This is expected to enable or instill start-up eco-culture in the young minds. Under the implementation of Robotics training at school level, the students of rural areas will be able to learn how drone technology works and its uses in various fields and it is hoped it will reduce the dropout rate and encourage students with new age technology like Robotics, Automation and Artificial intelligence. Hon’ble Vice-Chairman Ramen Deka hopes that the project will fulfill the dreams of the common people and may inspire the other institutions to take up such innovative projects for the welfare of the society. The programme was attended by the College Governing Body President Lakhi Kanta Sarma, Sri G.G Das, Advisor (F & A) SITA, Sri D.S Hazari, ARO SITA and other officials.
