MoU Signing for Educational Partnership

A key highlight of the event was the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between APJ Abdul Kalam Technical University (AKTU) and City Montessori School (CMS) in Lucknow for the dissemination of scientific innovation.. This partnership aims to provide students, teachers, and underprivileged government schools with access to technical expertise, a modern curriculum, and state-of-the-art laboratories.

Under the agreement, AKTU will train selected students and teachers from CMS to become "master trainers." These master trainers will then mentor and impart skills to students in rural and other nearby schools, offering them in-depth, hands-on learning through this innovative educational model.

Present at the signing were AKTU Vice-Chancellor Prof JP Pandey, CMS Manager Prof Geeta Gandhi Kingdon, and Additional Chief Secretary to the Governor, Dr Sudhir Mahadeo Bobde, among other dignitaries.
