The goal is to harness the talent of young engineers to solve problems using technology across various domains such as agriculture, manufacturing, defense, smart-city maintenance, and service industries.

What is e-Yantra Lab Set-up Initiative (eLSI)?

eLSI is an initiative to establish a culture of “Project-Based Learning” through an e-Yantra Lab embedded in a college. We do this by training teachers and students through various e-Yantra initiatives in technology skills and using these skills to solve real-world problems.

We complement the existing higher education system by bringing a project-based component into engineering education—i.e., “learn by doing.” Training students in practical skills through competitions such as:

• e-Yantra Robotics Competition (eYRC): Trains students in robotics skills.
• e-Yantra Innovation Challenge (eYIC): Encourages solving real-world problems.
• Other initiatives such as Hackathons and Sprints that test newly acquired skills.
