Technology giant Cisco will train 2.5 lakh students in the area of networking, security and Internet of Things (IoT).“We have done a lot of work in education and there are campuses that use our technology. We are extremely focused on India. We have been here for 20 years, we have R&D facilities, global delivery centres and have also invested heavily in the country in regards to Digital India perspective, ” said President of Cisco India and SAARC, Dinesh Malkani, in an official statement.
Cisco and RV College of Engineering (RVCE) have collaborated for a Centre of Excellence (CoE) in IoT for digital skills and training in Bengaluru.
