In a major development, the National Institute of Technology Calicut has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Ananth Technologies Pvt Limited, a frontrunner in space technologies. This collaboration is geared towards creating a Satellite Research Centre of ANANTH within the premises of NIT Calicut. 

The collaboration will boost the spirits of students and faculty members interested in space-related research and project topics. NIT Calicut will offer the necessary space and infrastructure resources for the establishment of the Satellite Centre.

Apart from setting up a Satellite Research Centre, the NITC and ANANTH will explore the possibility of collaborating on projects utilising the expertise of both teams. NITC students will also get expert sessions in the form of technical presentations, webinars, and talks on topics of joint interest by experts from Ananth. 

Lab visits to ANANTH, technical training, and the introduction of new courses in the curriculum will benefit the students. ANANTH will also give placement options for competent candidates based on their needs and demand. Dr. Subba Rao Pavuluri signed the MoU on behalf of Ananth Technologies while Dr. Jose Mathew, Chairperson Centre for Industry-Institutional Relations (CIIR) inked the MoU on behalf of NIT Calicut. 

"It is a proud moment for NITC to partner with ANANTH, a leader in design, development, re-engineering, manufacturing, and marketing of on-board & ground aero-space systems, software, IT products, and engineering services," said Prof. Prasad Krishna, Director of NIT Calicut. 

The Satellite Research Centre of ANANTH, a key player in Chandrayaan 3 and other space missions of India, is sure to equip the faculty, scholars, and students in the field of space research, he added.

The partnership is remarkable for NITC as Dr. Subba Rao Pavuluri, the founder of ANANTH, was a 1973 batch graduate of Regional Engineering College Calicut. Dr. Subba Rao, an alumnus of the Institute, was with the ISRO for 15 years of his career, before launching Ananth Technologies Pvt Ltd (ATL) in 1992 with a mission to support space research in India.
