Magadh University, Centre to Set Up MSME Tech Hub in Joint Effort

Magadh University is set to sign a memorandum of understanding with the Union Ministry of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises on Friday at Vigyan Bhavan, New Delhi, to establish an MSME Technology Centre on its Bodh Gaya campus. The signing ceremony will be held in the presence of President Droupadi Murmu.

The university's syndicate approved the proposal earlier in the week. This initiative marks the first such collaboration between a state university and the Union MSME Ministry in India.

The upcoming technology centre will offer skill development, diploma, and certificate-level courses in various job-oriented trades. It is designed to support technical education, innovation, startups, and research activities. The centre is expected to serve as a national model for modern technical education and entrepreneurship development.

In addition to providing specialised training in manufacturing and marketing sectors, the centre will focus on the preservation and promotion of local products. It will offer training on branding and marketing of traditional goods such as anarsa and tilkut, popular sweets from Gaya, with the goal of expanding their market reach both within India and internationally.

The initiative is seen as a strategic move to position Magadh University as a key contributor to the national innovation ecosystem, with benefits expected to extend beyond Bihar to students across the country.
