SITA had signed the Memorandum of Agreement on May 5 and on Tuesday it handed over the first installment of Rs 10 lakh to start the project. The demand draft was handed over by Ramen Deka to Tapan Dutta, Principal of Jawaharlal Nehru College, Boko.

The project aims to conduct a survey to access the need of robotics training in the provincialized 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.
