Internet giant and search engine Google will give approximately Rs 65 lakh to Dr APJ Abdul Kalam Technical University for research work. AKTU vice-chancellor Vinay Pathak said it is the first university to get such financial assistance from Google. “It will help us in strengthening research work in the centre of advanced studies of the varsity,” he said. “In view of increasing use of mobile phones, the university has tied up with Google to start android-based application development programmes. As Google apps are free, hence there is a lot of scope for students to explore new things,” said Gaur.
