Robotics’ students display entrepreneurial spirit

“Young engineers do not have to depend on seeking jobs for employment, they can group with likeminded students and venture into entrepreneurship,” said AK Khan, Advisor to Government (Minority Welfare).

Speaking at a robotics training workshop that was held for the students of Telangana Minority Residential Educational Institutions Society (TMREIs), which is spearheaded by Khan, he said, “Students can make use of government schemes to start their own industry.”

He appreciated the efforts of engineering students into imparting robotics knowledge to school students, and creating awareness about robotics among the younger lot at a very young age. At the end of the workshop, many students mostly from class seventh of these schools were able to build their own robots.

Twenty-four students were awarded first, second and third prize for building the best robots. Appreciating the overwhelming public response to government’s minority schools, Khan said, “In first year itself, 71 schools were established. The total number of students so far has gone beyond the expected 40,000 figure to nearly 60,000 registrations.”

Zafer Jaweed, Secretary Sultan-Ul-Uloom Education Society (SUES) said that was delighted to see the success of TMREIS. “SUES will soon establish a Robotic centre with all amenities and facilities,” he said. Waliullah, Naseem Nathani, Mir Akber Ali Khan, Mohammed Jafer, Dr Basheer Ahmed and Prof. Arifuddin were also present on the occasion.
