With the Metro rail network extending across several States, a specialised course will soon be offered by the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT)-Delhi on Metro technology. The idea is to impart technical education to budding engineers in all aspects of planning and construction of a Metro rail network.
“DMRC has tied up with IIT-Delhi to start a one-year course on Metro technology, which covers all aspects - right from designing till execution of the project,” said a Delhi Metro spokesperson. The move will serve the purpose of indigenisation of technology and development of skilled manpower in the field of Metro Railway engineering.
Delhi Metro on Tuesday also signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the Delhi Technological University (DTU), with an aim to take up projects jointly in the fields of design development, research and indigenisation of technology. This will broaden the expanse of learning for engineering students. As part of the initiative, Delhi Metro may also provide internship to DTU students for their summer training.
DMRC and DTU will establish a joint interface committee (JIC), comprising representatives of both the organisations, with matching expertise in electrical and electronics engineering.
“Initially, the MoU has been signed with DTU’s electrical and electronics, computer and communication engineering departments. However, the ambit of understanding may be expanded further,” said the spokesperson.
As part of this pioneering initiative, DTU can undertake consultancy projects related to design, analysis, development, forecasting, investigation, system integration, embedded systems and other software/hardware based solutions.
