Faridabad/Alive News: J.C. Bose University of Science and Technology, YMCA, Faridabad, is set to host AICTE-sponsored AICTE–VAANI Workshop in offline/physical mode. The workshop organized by the Department of Computer Engineering, titled “Technological Innovations in Smart Cities and Intelligent Mobility,” will be conducted entirely in Hindi and is scheduled for 18th to 19th November 2025.
While detailing about the event, Chairperson of the Department, Prof. Ashutosh Dixit informed that this two-day national-level workshop represents a significant step toward integrating advanced technological discourse with the promotion of Indian languages in higher education and research.
The primary objective of the workshop is to deliver a comprehensive understanding of smart city ecosystems and the rapidly transforming domain of urban mobility. Participants will gain in-depth insights into how technological advancements are redefining urban living, enabling sustainable development, and fostering intelligent infrastructure. By exploring the interplay between innovation and urban planning, the program seeks to prepare academicians, researchers, and students to contribute meaningfully to India’s vision of digitally empowered and inclusive smart cities.
The Workshop Coordinator Dr. Parul Tomar further informed that aligned with the Government of India’s ambitious Smart Cities Mission and the National Education Policy’s emphasis on multilingual technical education, this initiative underscores the importance of accessibility in knowledge dissemination. The AICTE–VAANI framework, under which the workshop is organized, promotes the use of Indian languages in science, engineering, and technology education, ensuring that cutting-edge concepts reach a wider audience without linguistic barriers. The choice of Hindi as the medium of instruction reflects a conscious effort to democratize technical learning and encourage participation from diverse regional and linguistic backgrounds.
The Workshop Co-coordinator Dr. Ashlesha Gupta formed that the workshop will feature interactive sessions led by renowned experts, covering critical areas such as smart city frameworks and digital infrastructure, intelligent transportation systems and traffic management, AI-driven urban planning strategies, and IoT-enabled civic technologies and automation. Through panel discussions, case studies, and technical demonstrations, attendees will explore real-world applications of these technologies and their potential to address urban challenges like congestion, pollution, resource optimization, and citizen-centric governance.
Participation is open to faculty members, research scholars, industry professionals, and students from across the country. Registration is mandatory, and interested individuals are urged to secure their spots at the earliest via the official university website or by contacting the Department of Computer Engineering directly. This workshop offers a unique opportunity for knowledge exchange, networking, and collaboration among stakeholders committed to building the smart cities of tomorrow.a
