These labs will embed with C-DAC and will encourage industry and academia collaborations, he said, emphasising that technology companies, startups and government will be partners to catalyse India as semiconductor nation and major player in electronics global value chains. Virtually addressing the first edition of the IEEE MAPCON event (Microwave, Antennas, and Propagation Conference) 2022 being held in Bengaluru on Thursday, he said, “We are no longer a back-office support to the world. Our skilled engineers are now being encouraged to innovate and start their own ventures.” The minister asserted that the Government is all prepared to support their initiatives. “The Digital India programme supported by future design, future labs and future skills shall act as enabler for India to become a semicon nation,” he added. The Minister also inaugurated the IEEE-Ansys Centre for Skill Development in RF and Microwave and Ansys Innovation Space (AIS) Portal at Reva University in Bengaluru. The Centre will help skilling of workforce in electronics, semiconductors, and A&D sectors to accelerate Atmanirbhar Bharat vision. About the centre, the minister said, “The Centre for Skill Development demonstrates how industry and academia can come together and focus on creating state-of-the-art skills and Skill India Mission.” He offered support and help to scale this up across India, adding that the Ansys Innovation Space (AIS) portal is a good initiative that could very well complement government’s effort in providing digital based skill development program.” This facility will be able to provide training and knowledge to more than 1500+ students and professionals every year.  (KNN Bureau)
