Karnataka Law Society’s Gogte Institute of Technology has signed a memorandum of understanding with Dassault Systemes to set up a centre of excellence in technical education in Belagavi.
Tanuj Mittal, senior director, sales and customer process experience, Dassault Systemes, and Anant Mandgi, president, Karnataka Law Society (KLS), inaugurated the centre here on Monday.
The centre of excellence will serve as a hub for research and development, training and knowledge dissemination. It will be equipped with state-of-the-art software and technology tools from Dassault Systemes, allowing students and faculty to access cutting-edge tools and resources.
This will not only enhance the learning experience but also foster innovation and research that can address real-world engineering challenges, said a release.
“We envision an ecosystem where students can gain practical experience and work on industry-relevant projects, preparing them for successful careers in today’s highly competitive job market. This partnership also reflects our shared values of sustainability and responsibility. We will collaborate on projects that promote sustainable engineering practices and contribute to a greener future,” Mr. Mittal said.
“Together, we aim to develop solutions that address some of the most pressing challenges of our time,” Mr. Mittal added.

“Writing, in general, is a very solitary process,” says Yauvanika Chopra, Associate Director at The New India Foundation (NIF), which, earlier this year, announced the 12th edition of its NIF Book Fellowships for research and scholarship about Indian history after Independence. While authors, in general, are built for it, it can still get very lonely, says Chopra, pointing out that the fellowship’s community support is as valuable as the monetary benefits it offers. “There is a solid community of NIF fellows, trustees, language experts, jury members, all of whom are incredibly competent,” she says. “They really help make authors feel supported from manuscript to publication, so you never feel like you’re struggling through isolation.”
Several principals of government and private schools in Delhi on Tuesday said the Directorate of Education (DoE) circular from a day earlier, directing schools to conduct classes in ‘hybrid’ mode, had caused confusion regarding day-to-day operations as they did not know how many students would return to school from Wednesday and how would teachers instruct in two modes — online and in person — at once. The DoE circular on Monday had also stated that the option to “exercise online mode of education, wherever available, shall vest with the students and their guardians”. Several schoolteachers also expressed confusion regarding the DoE order. A government schoolteacher said he was unsure of how to cope with the resumption of physical classes, given that the order directing government offices to ensure that 50% of the employees work from home is still in place. On Monday, the Commission for Air Quality Management in the National Capital Region and Adjoining Areas (CAQM) had, on the orders of the Supreme Court, directed schools in Delhi-NCR to shift classes to the hybrid mode, following which the DoE had issued the circular. The court had urged the Centre’s pollution watchdog to consider restarting physical classes due to many students missing out on the mid-day meals and lacking the necessary means to attend classes online. The CAQM had, on November 20, asked schools in Delhi-NCR to shift to the online mode of teaching.
