They will collaborate on methodologies and experimental designs, building predictive models for data-driven decisions and enhancing the overall skilling landscape. Moreover, the MoU outlines the provision of inputs for special NSDC impact projects in socio-economically deprived sections, such as aspirational districts and border areas.
