Description

India’s automotive future looks electric. Concerted policy push and innovations from automotive manufacturers are fast making e-mobility viable. While we are heading towards E-Mobility Mission, we need to work on creating EV Ecosystem. Fostering Skills, Innovations, Employability, and Entrepreneurship will contribute a significant part to EV Ecosystem Development. In the coming time, there will be a huge demand for Skilled-Workforce in EV Industry. In accordance with that, the learning functionality of an EV is very essential for an engineering student irrespective of his or her stream. Skill Development for EV Industry should happen in both ways: Concept-Based Learning & Project Based Learning. Then only there will be a scope of Innovations & Research in the future of transportation systems
