The MoU was formally signed by Dr. C. C. Tripathi, Director of NITTTR Bhopal, and Prof. Gobardhan Das, Director of IISER Bhopal. The agreement aims to strengthen the country technologically through research, innovation, skill development, and joint initiatives.
On this occasion, NITTTR Bhopal Director Dr. Tripathi said that both institutions will work together in the assembly and packaging of semiconductor devices.

Prof. Gobardhan Das, Director of IISER Bhopal, linked this partnership to the nation’s research priorities, stating that research is meaningful only when it is based on the real needs and priorities of the country. He emphasized that academic institutions fulfill their true purpose only when they equip students with the necessary skills to make them employable.
The agreement will accelerate joint research and development, enabling better results in a shorter time. It will also prepare a new generation of semiconductor professionals, whose demand in the industry is continuously growing. The semiconductor industry in India is expected to generate millions of skilled and semi-skilled jobs over the next decade, making it a significant source of employment.
