One such programme will be conducted in collaboration with Rajiv Gandhi University of Knowledge Technologies (RGUKT), popularly known as IIIT-Basar, on October 4 where a one-day workshop will be conducted for students, IT aspirants and unemployed youth.

“The event consists of sessions on soft skills like communication, time management and goal settings by personality development trainer C. Veerender, apart from technical sessions on emerging technologies like digital media, cyber security and cloud computing,” said TITA founder and president, Sundeep Kumar Makthala.

IIIT-Basar Vice-Chancellor S.
