The training is being be provided to diploma or degree students of Civil & Mechanical Engineering programmes at GTU Gandhinagar campus, Dr. Rajul Gajjar, I/c Vice Chancellor of GTU said.
At present there are 200 factories of glass processing in India. Out of them 24 factories are in Gujarat. In current scenario if we see today in all the types of buildings there is maximum use of Glass whether it is office, hotels airports etc. It is giving good opportunity to GTU students for employment. With the advent of green technology, green building concept has become very popular. Green building must minimize the demand of non-renewable resources and maximize the reuse, recycling and utilization of renewable resources. In India today most of the buildings extensively use Glazing in form of Facade Glazing or in the form of large windows. The installation and Glass processing have emerged as one of the important areas of employment in Gujarat. Gujarat is facing acute shortage of Skill required for glass façade fabrication and installation Technology. In order to develop need based skilled manpower in the emerging sector (glass façade, fenestration and glass processing industry), the Glass Academy joined hands with Gujarat Technological University to impart glass façade & processing skills and such other skills, Mr. Balaji, Head of Glass Academy said
