The Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship (MSDE), through the Directorate General of Training (DGT), signed a strategic Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Autodesk Inc. on November 6, 2025. This partnership aims to modernize India’s vocational training ecosystem by integrating Autodesk’s advanced design and manufacturing tools into Industrial Training Institutes (ITIs) and National Skill Training Institutes (NSTIs). The initiative will train both students and instructors in digital prototyping, CAD, and AI-enhanced design systems, making India’s vocational workforce more future-ready. By embedding these skills early, the collaboration supports innovation, employability, and industry-aligned technical education.
