The PGA IC chip, fabricated at SCL,Mohali, on a 180 nm CMOS technology node, demonstrates VESIT’s impressive indigenous design capabilities. This Programmable Gain Amplifier (PGA) chip is useful for a wide range of signal processing and computer-based systems for use in high-tech instrumentations, medical equipments, and defense applications. The industry partner Panache Digilife, will use this chip to manufacture advanced electronic instruments, directly contributing to India’s burgeoning electronics manufacturing sector.

This achievement is a landmark for VESIT, making it the first private engineering institute from Maharashtra to be featured in this prestigious national initiative under Category-I of C2S program, solidifying its place as a key contributor to the India’s Semiconductor Mission.

“We are incredibly proud to see our faculty’s hard work recognized on such a prestigious national platform. This milestone is a testament to our institution’s commitment to fostering a culture of innovation and hands-on research. By actively participating in the Chip to Startup programme and more such initiatives, we are not only contributing to the ‘Make in India’ mission but also shaping the next generation of engineers and innovators who will lead our nation’s technological future.” said Shri. B. L. Boolani, Managing Trustee, VESIT.

VESIT remains committed to advancing India’s semiconductor ecosystem. VESIT has already designed two more chips under C2S that are currently under development, further demonstrating its sustained dedication to technological self-reliance. This significant achievement by VESIT is a powerful example of how Industry Academia collaboration is fueling the vision of an ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’ and strengthening the nation’s position on the global technology Map.

अपने चार वर्ष के कार्यकाल को याद करते हुए ज़ैनुलभाई ने कहा कि आयोग ने प्रधानमंत्री की उस दृष्टि पर काम किया जिसमें सिविल सेवकों की क्षमता बढ़ाना, शासन को नागरिक-केंद्रित बनाना और प्रौद्योगिकी को अपनाने पर जोर था। वर्ष 2021 में स्थापित आयोग की देखरेख में मिशन कर्मयोगी आज एक राष्ट्रीय कार्यक्रम बन गया है, जिसके तहत iGOT डिजिटल प्लेटफ़ॉर्म पर 3,200 से अधिक पाठ्यक्रम उपलब्ध हैं और 1.25 करोड़ से अधिक अधिकारी एवं कर्मचारी इससे जुड़े हैं। वर्ष के अंत तक 20 लाख सरकारी कर्मचारियों को *‘सेवा भाव’* विषय पर एक दिवसीय प्रशिक्षण पूरा करने की उम्मीद है।

सीबीसी के नेतृत्व में 195 केंद्रीय एवं राज्य प्रशिक्षण संस्थानों को नए गुणवत्ता मानकों के अनुसार मान्यता दी गई है, वहीं राज्यों, नगरीय निकायों और पंचायतों को भी डिजिटल प्रशिक्षण से जोड़ा जा रहा है। ज़ैनुलभाई ने बताया कि अब हर नई योजना और कानून के लिए iGOT प्लेटफ़ॉर्म पर प्रशिक्षण कार्यक्रम उपलब्ध होगा, जिससे सरकारी अधिकारियों के लिए सतत सीखने की व्यवस्था सुनिश्चित होगी।

इस पहल ने अंतरराष्ट्रीय स्तर पर भी ध्यान आकर्षित किया है। ज़ैनुलभाई ने कहा, प्रधानमंत्री ने इसे कैरेबियाई और अफ्रीकी देशों को देने का वादा किया है। उन्होंने यह भी जोड़ा कि अब तक काफी कुछ हासिल हुआ है, लेकिन यह तो बस शुरुआत है, अभी बहुत काम बाकी है।
