The inauguration ceremony, graced by VTU vice-chancellor Prof Vidyashankar S and Xcel Corp founder and CEO Jit Goel, highlighted the importance of providing hands-on training and project-based learning opportunities for students. The concept of ‘earning while learning’ will not only enhance the skills of the students but also provide them with valuable industry experience.
