The 5-Day Drone Bootcamp, organized jointly by N.I.T. Kurukshetra and Jaypee University of Information Technology (JUIT), Solan, concluded successfully on 18th April 2025. Held under the MeitY-sponsored initiative “Capacity Building for Human Resource Development in Drone and Related Technology,” the program bridged theoretical learning and practical skill-building in drone technologies.
From April 14 to 18, participants explored drone design, hardware, flight control systems, safety protocols, and engaged in simulation and live flying sessions. The bootcamp was led by Prof. Lilli Dewan (NIT Kurukshetra), alongside her expert team: Prof. Mahesh Pal, Dr. Satyender, Dr. Shelza, Dr. Ritu Garg, Prof. Munish Garg, Dr. Mohit Dua, Dr. V.G.D. Rayudu, and Dr. Sanjay — whose knowledge-rich and interactive approach ensured an enriching experience.
Special gratitude was extended to Prof. R.K. Sharma, Hon’ble Vice Chancellor of JUIT, for his continuous encouragement and vision. The program’s success also stemmed from the support of Prof. Vivek Sehgal (HoD, CSE) and Prof. Rajiv Kumar (HoD, ECE).
Faculty Coordinators of Enkindle Club, Dr. Aman Sharma and Dr. Anita Sardana, were lauded for their efficient coordination. The dedication of student volunteers from Enkindle Club was also instrumental in the event’s smooth execution. The valedictory session closed with certificate distribution and a shared commitment to advancing drone and autonomous technology education.
