Sri Durga Malleswara Siddhartha Mahila Kalasala organised an one-day workshop on ‘basics on latest telecom technologies’ here on Tuesday. Addressing the gathering, Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) Senior Sub-Divisional Engineer P. Raju said that the telecom was the most happening sector and engineering graduates need to get acquainted with latest developments in the telecom sector.
There was a huge gap between academics and industry requirements as the technology was developing at a faster pace that did not match the academics. To bridge this gap, he said, the BSNL was providing training on latest telecom technologies. Mr. Raju said that the telecom sector registered business worth Rs. 6 lakh crore per annum and India was the biggest market across the world. There were 87 crore mobile users in the country against 3 crore landline users and the figure was higher than countries like US and UK.
This, he said, precisely explained why the entire world, including the European countries, was focused on Indian market. The telecom sector offered several job opportunities especially in view of growing technologies and foray of multi-national companies in the country among other reasons.
