industry in the state, the Aero India
show is promising to do much more,
for Bangalore, in particular. If all goes
well, Bangalore will get Asia ' s first aerospace university that could
catapult the city into the league of
global aerospace hubs.
The state government has set the ball
rolling to set up a university
exclusively for aerospace as part of its Aerospace Park project, in Devanahalli,
near Bangalore International Airport.
" We will face huge shortage of skilled human resources in realising the
ambitious plans in aerospace sector.
We do not have a holistic organisation
to provide trained manpower for this
high-tech industry," state chief secretary SV Ranganath said at a
conference with a delegation of US
India Business Council (USIBC),
chaired by chief minister BS
Yeddyurappa.
Ranganth appealed to aerospace industry giants of the US to look into
the issue and participate in a big way
in setting up this university.
Director of industries and commerce
department said, " We will hold discussions with major aerospace
industries like Boeing, Lockheed
Martin and Rolls Royce to seek their
participation in establishing the
university. Presently, only a few
countries including the US, UK, Canada and Australia have aerospace
universities. It is high time Bangalore
gets Asia ' s first aerospace university to emerge and join the big league."
