Our goal is to offer skill development support not only to our students but also to aspiring engineers from other institutions, contributing to the development of a skilled and self-reliant workforce collectively. We are dedicated to uplifting the surrounding community and fostering productive industry-academic collaborations. Understanding the pivotal role of the nation leading the semiconductor industry in shaping the future, IIT Guwahati is committed to advancing progressive initiatives in this sector and aspires to lead the way.” Gurumurthy, who was the chief guest of the workshop, also interacted with the students and faculty members of different educational institutions who attended the workshop. It may be mentioned here that Tata is coming up with a Rs 27 thousand crore semiconductor plant in Assam. The Semiconductor plant is expected to come up in 2026 and is expected to employ hundreds of local youths, besides making Assam a hub of electronics and IT.
