Corporate Partnership Initiatives

Let us collaborate for the motto:
“Innovate to Educate and Educate to Innovate”

Since 1965, NITTTR Bhopal has been working at the intersection of Pedagogy, Technology and Content knowledge areas and handled many projects sponsored by World Bank, UNESCO, Government of India, Industries and many other national and international agencies (www.nitttrbpl.ac.in). The Board of Governors (BoG) of the institute is headed by Shri. C P Sharma, Chairman, Daulatram Group of Industries, Mandideep, Bhopal.

One of the major strategies of the proposed Vision Plan-2036 of the Institute would be a renewed focus on academic and research programmes that shall promote specific-industry need-based skill development. As a strategy and part of the vision plan we have established a NITTTR-Siemens Center of Excellence in Digitization and Industry 4.0 to focus to develop higher order design and analysis skills and run the same in close coordination with industry stakeholders. A few more such centers are expected soon.

An overview of activities that are planned to promote industry collaboration, in the coming years, are given below:
