Introduction
DRDO has been pursuing basic and applied research in collaboration with academia, since last six decades. DRDO has been funding the research projects through various mechanisms to engage academia under its Grant-in-Aid scheme. In last five years, DRDO has given impetus to create Research Eco-system for Directed Research by establishing the Centres of Excellence within premier institutes and universities. DRDO is continuously taking efforts towards expanding the research base by engaging faculties, researchers, scientists, start-ups and industries for developing targeted emerging and futuristic technologies to accelerate the technological self-reliance in defence and security of the nation. DRDO has collaborated with AICTE for conducting the Regular M.Tech Course in Defence Technologies having 6 specialized streams in collaboration with All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE). The M.Tech. courses would infuse interest in students and motivate them to pursue their career in research and development for defence and security to join defence, PSUs and private defence industries.
To support the efforts of DRDO and to fulfil the vision of ‘AatmaNirbhar Bharat’, DKTE’S Textile and Engineering Institute, Ichalkaranji, has taken initiation to start the course from academic year 2021-22
Need for M.Tech. (Defence Technology)
DRDO has established very good connect with faculties and researchers of academia through research projects. So far the engineering education in the country do not have M.Tech courses, adapted to impart knowledge related to defence and security applications. Defence Institute of Advanced Technology (DIAT) Pune, CME Pune and select institutes and industries have been mainly providing required specialized knowledge related to defence and s ecurity to the students and armed forces personnel.
The M.Tech. in defence technology courses has been designed to produce Post Graduates who will have the necessary theoretical & experimental knowledge, skill and aptitude in various defence technologies areas and pursue them to carry out R&D in defence. The students will be provided valuable exposure & knowledge for various state of the art defence systems and contemporary technologies through class lectures & main thesis work. During the program, the students would be given valuable exposure by carrying out their main thesis work in DRDO labs, Defence PSUs & Private Defence Industries. This collaborative effort of DRDO, AICTE and Industries will provide required knowledge to the students and create job opportunities for them. The academic-industry trained workforce will immensely contribute in realizing GOI vision of Atmanirbhar Bharat.

Alignment with National Initiatives
The IDEA lab activities will be conducted to align with many of the national initiatives to develop “AatmaNirbhar Bharat”. The Institute has already started courses under UGC-NSQF (“National Skill Qualifications Framework”), scheme, for skill development of youth, and the IDEA lab infrastructure will be shared for these courses also. Institute has also culture to promote the innovation activities amongst its stockholders, resulting which the Institute has figured at 33rd rank in ARIIA 2020, a survey conducted by Ministry of Education, Govt. of India, and the same ecosystem will encourage the students to implement their innovative ideas through the lab.
To achieve Technology Vision 2035, existing TIFAC-CORE centre and the IDEA lab will go, hand in hand, for sustainable development by empowering youth with imparting emerging technology with hands on skills.
To meet the expectation of sustainable development goals, awareness programmes on sustainable products will be undertaken and members of the lab will be encouraged to undertake development of sustainable products.
The IDEA lab will work with the help of existing MSME incubation centre, for conducting Entrepreneurship Skill Development Programmes, for the students as well as youths from rural areas, to meet the MSME as well Startup India initiatives, for transforming India into country of Job creators. Similarly, skill development programmes and technology development programmes will be the part of IDEA lab to align with Digital India mission.
Resources from the IDEA lab will be utilized to motivate students from nearby schools, to give scope for original and hidden ideas/innovations rooted in science and societal applications to foster a culture of creativity and innovative thinking among them.
The activities of IDEA lab will also be aligned with Innovative schemes under the National Manufacturing Competitiveness Programme (NMCP) covering entire gamut of manufacturing in the sector aiming to develop global competitiveness among Indian MSMEs
