Question

TodaySprint · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is Option A: Semiconductor manufacturing. Project SAMARTH (Silicon and Advanced Semiconductor Manufacturing Research and Training Hub) is being established at IIT Gandhinagar, Gujarat, with a budget of ₹190 crore. The project is a joint initiative of the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY), the Department of Science and Technology, Government of Gujarat, and IIT Gandhinagar. The centre aims to develop a skilled semiconductor workforce by training technicians, operators, engineers, and researchers. Project SAMARTH seeks to make engineering students fab-ready through practical training in semiconductor fabrication and manufacturing technologies. Over a five-year period, the centre targets training 10,000 participants, including students, technicians, and professionals. The project promotes indigenous semiconductor research and development, including the design of specialised devices, manufacturing processes, and process tools. L&T Semiconductor Technologies is an industry partner supporting the project through research, development, and skill-building collaboration. Semiconductors are materials whose electrical conductivity lies between that of conductors and insulators, making them essential for modern electronic devices.
