India’s department for promotion of industry and internal trade (DPIIT) under the commerce and industry ministry and Vadodara-based GatiShakti Vishwavidyalaya (GSV) recently signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to boost the country’s infrastructure and logistics sectors.

Under the MoU, GSV will be the nodal agency across the country to design, develop and deliver courses and curriculum related to PM Gati Shakti National Master Plan and National Logistics Policy (NLP) at various centres in different states. The NLP was launched and GSV was established last year.

The MoU was signed by GSV vice chancellor Manoj Choudhary and E. Srinivas, joint secretary in DPIIT’s logistics division. Minister of commerce and industry Piyush Goyal and railways minister Ashwini Vaishnaw were present at the signing ceremony.

The collaboration shall mark the great culmination of three visions, i.e., smarter planning and implementation; structured specialised development; and capacity building, an official release said quoting Goyal.

Five courses on the railways have been developed, with a focus on tracks technology, rail-wheel interaction, thermodynamics and signalling systems.

GSV shall work with the logistics division to conceptualise and establish ‘knowledge centres’ of PM GatiShakti in different states and institutions, which will serve as repository of best practices of PM GatiShakti approach, best practices in logistics, centres of further research and innovation in logistics.
