Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY), C-DAC, Indian Toy Industries and LEGO
Group celebrated the Convocation Ceremony of the 2nd batch of engineering graduates who have spent a
year training under the project ‘Development of Electronics and IT-based Control and Automation
Solutions for Consumer Electronic Goods (Toy Industry)’. The project is a tailor-made initiative of R&D
group of the Ministry to foster the growth of the Indian electronic toys industry by developing prototypes
and equipping young engineers, including from under-represented communities, with the skills needed to
design such toys.
Under this MeitY initiative, young engineers were selected from across India from SC/ST and NER
background and engaged in R&D activities for a year, gaining hands-on experience in designing and
developing electronic toys for first six months working and learning in the e-toys lab at C-DAC-Noida
followed by a six-month training in the industry to create toys prototype based on industry needs. The
participants were provided with a monthly stipend of Rs. 25,000 for one year.
During the event, Shri Amitesh Kumar Sinha, Additional Secretary, MeitY inaugurated the Electronic Toys
Lab set-up at the C-DAC, Noida. Speaking on the occasion, he said, “India is a growing market of
electronic toys and to build the Indian toys industry ecosystem Electronics and IT can play a crucial role. I
am very happy that the building blocks for it are getting created and the next generation of engineers areworking towards it. This program can be formalized in a bigger way to cater more students and more
impact in overall promotion of the Toy industries. The CoE setup at CDAC-Noida for e-Toys will onboard
NIELIT and MSH and other institutes with electronic Toys in focus. It will help in creating the
entrepreneurship/startup. I wish the graduating students all the very best for their future.”
