The gaming center will offer various courses on topics like VFX, gaming and animation.
The Ministry of Information and Broadcasting in collaboration with the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Bombay will be developing a gaming centre where several important schemes and courses will be conducted for the development of sports in the country. The announcement was made by the Information and Broadcasting Minister Prakash Javadekar while addressing a game designing competition.
Javadekar said, “India is a historical centre of sports. The Prime Minister’s vision is to make India a major toy manufacturer. Soon, every Indian will realize his vision.”
He further said the various courses on topics like VFX, gaming and animation will also be started soon in the gaming centre.
“The games which children play on mobile phones leave a very bad impact on them. We can develop games based on Indian culture with the VFX technology so that children develop good values,” Javadekar said.
IIT Bombay offers more than 70 courses at UG, PG and PhD level. These courses are primarily offered in the streams of Engineering, Technology, Science, Management and Design. The institute has also created a niche for its innovative short-term courses through continuing education and distance-learning programmes. All the courses, except for Management programmes, are conducted through 16 departments of IIT Bombay.
The Management programmes, on the other hand, are offered by the Institute's on-campus school- Shailesh J. Mehta School of Management (SJMSOM IIT Bombay). Additonally, there are 19 centres on the campus which include Centre for Distance Engineering Education Programme, National Centre for Aerospace Innovation and Research, Tata Center for Technology and Design, Centre for Research in Nanotechnology and Science, Centre for Aerospace Systems Design and Engineering and many others.
