The All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) plans to establish 47 AVPL AeroVision Drone Labs in AICTE-approved institutions across India. This follows a Memorandum of Understanding with AVPL, aiming to equip students and faculty with practical knowledge and skills in drone technology.

The initiative, which includes Daman and Diu institutions, demonstrates AICTE's commitment to promoting innovation in underserved regions and ensuring access to advanced technical education and emerging technologies.

Prof TG Sitharam, chairman, AICTE, said, “The first 47 institutions selected for the first phase of this visionary initiative. The inclusion of Daman and Diu is especially noteworthy, symbolising AICTE’s dedication to promoting innovation in less explored areas. Together, we are keeping pace with the future and actively shaping it, contributing to the vision of Unnat and Viksit Bharat.”

Preet Sandhuu, founder and managing director, AVPL, said, “These labs are designed to create a skilled ecosystem in drone technology, preparing professionals not only for drone piloting but also for assembly, repair, and advanced technical roles. This initiative will address the rising demand for skilled talent in a rapidly expanding industry.”
