The Ministry of Information and Broadcasting organised a media tour of Gujarat for journalists from Telangana. As part of this visit, the delegation toured Gati Shakti Vishwavidyalaya in Vadodara and Amul Dairy in Anand on 10 September 2026.
What the delegation saw
At Gati Shakti Vishwavidyalaya: The university, India’s first dedicated institution for transport and logistics, operates under the Ministry of Railways. It offers programmes covering railways, roads, ports, aviation, urban transport and logistics, designed with input from industry professionals working in these sectors.
The university emphasises hands-on training. Students complete 13 to 14 weeks of mandatory internship annually and a 21-week final-year project with an industry partner, giving them roughly nine months of practical work experience. Recent batches of B.Tech and MBA students achieved 100 per cent placement, with companies like L&T, Jacobs, Siemens, Airbus, Alstom and Plasser India recruiting from the university. Currently, around 1,300 students from 22 states study there, with plans to expand to 5,000 students over five years.
The university is also testing an adaptive traffic signal system at six junctions in Vadodara, with plans to roll out the model in Hyderabad, Bengaluru and Chennai.
At Amul Dairy: The dairy cooperative highlighted its support to farmers through veterinary services, vaccinations, cattle feed and milking machines. The focus is on improving farmer livelihoods and returns, alongside expanding the global reach of Indian dairy products.
What this means for you
If you are a student interested in transport, logistics, railways or related fields, Gati Shakti Vishwavidyalaya offers structured programmes with strong industry connections and job prospects. If you are a dairy farmer in regions where Amul operates, the cooperative offers services to help improve productivity and income. For states like Telangana, the university’s plan to establish campuses across India may bring such education opportunities closer to home.
