Savitribai Phule Pune University (SPPU) or the "Oxford of the East'', has taken a significant leap forward in academic innovation by integrating DroneAcharya's esteemed Drone Courses into its official curriculum, for the first time in India. This pioneering collaboration allows SPPU students to seamlessly enroll in DroneAcharya's courses via the university's website, marking a monumental milestone in academic expansion and career development in emerging technologies.
With SPPU's endorsement, students undertaking DroneAcharya's courses will earn additional credits, cementing the courses' recognition within the university framework. Completion of these courses will culminate in the issuance of a joint certificate from SPPU and DroneAcharya, amplifying the students' credentials in the burgeoning field of drone technology.
The range of courses include DGCA Certified Drone Pilot Training, Drone Building, Drone Data Processing and GIS (Geographic Information System), Aerial Cinematography, Python Coding for Drones and GIS and courses specific to emerging applications like Agriculture and Disaster Management.
This partnership represents a significant milestone, granting DroneAcharya Aerial Innovations Limited, India's leading DGCA certified drone pilot training organization, the opportunity to share its expertise with the entirety of SPPU's student body. With approximately 1,000 affiliated colleges and an annual graduation count of over 600,000 students, the integration of dronefocused courses aims to heighten awareness about the extensive career prospects within the drone industry. This initiative harmonizes perfectly with Prime Minister Narendra Modi's aspiration to establish India as the Global Drone Hub by 2030.
"The current dearth of certified and skilled professionals within the drone industry presents a critical gap in employment opportunities across the nation. SPPU's integration of these courses represents a commendable stride towards addressing this deficit by nurturing a pool of skilled, certified, and industry-ready drone professionals," comments Prateek Srivastava, Founder and Managing Director of DroneAcharya Aerial Innovations.
This development underscores a positive trajectory in cultivating awareness, skills, and certifications in the drone sector, positioning India as a frontrunner in meeting the evolving demands of the global job market.
