Lodha said that artificial intelligence, drone technology, and robotics are some of the emerging fields that will be covered in courses offered by ITIs. "As an infrastructural expansion, every ITI will see construction of nearly 1,800 square feet of additional space. It will be utilised for accommodating additional machinery and running courses." State govt has plans to offer loans up to Rs10 lakh to youths completing ITI, diploma, and degree courses in engineering and technology, among other fields, for entrepreneurship development, the minister said. "Govt will bear 50% of the interest rate. We target a minimum of one crore youth for the disbursal of such loans." Lodha further said the disbursal of such loans is part of state's proposed innovation policy. "We have charted out a comprehensive policy to promote innovation, entrepreneurship, and research. The policy will be tabled before state cabinet for final approval." The coffee table book, which was released in association with the Directorate of Vocational Education and Training, is a formal tribute to Shivaji Maharaj, the minister said. "It will inspire everyone to follow the path shown by the Maratha warrior king. It will infuse new confidence in our youth."
