Bhandara: Amid efforts to promote the IT sector and create opportunities for a proposed IT Park in Bhandara, Shubham Parkhedkar, Founder and Director of MBIG IT Services, has made an important appeal to students in the district.
Parkhedkar said that if Bhandara is to attract more IT companies and develop into an IT hub, local students must actively take advantage of training and internship opportunities offered by IT companies within Bhandara.
“If we want to bring more IT companies and an IT Park to Bhandara, the journey has to begin with the students of Bhandara. Students should pursue their education at local colleges while also gaining practical experience through training and internships with IT companies in Bhandara. When the local talent pool and IT ecosystem become stronger, Bhandara can become a more attractive destination for larger IT companies.”
He said that when he started his IT company in Bhandara, there were very few companies operating in the local IT sector. Today, several IT and software companies are working in Bhandara, creating opportunities for local students and young professionals in areas such as training, internships and employment.
Why Is This Message Important for Local Students?
Students from Bhandara often look toward Nagpur and other major cities for higher education, internships and IT job opportunities. Access to internships and practical training within the district can help students gain industry exposure while staying in Bhandara.
According to Parkhedkar, developing a strong ecosystem connecting local colleges, IT companies and skilled students could help accelerate the growth of the IT sector in Bhandara.
He urged students not to limit themselves to obtaining a degree but to focus on developing practical skills in areas such as coding, software development, artificial intelligence, web development and other emerging technologies.
Internships with local IT companies, he said, can provide valuable real-world industry experience and help students understand the requirements of the technology industry.
“Bhandara Can Build Its Own IT Ecosystem”
Parkhedkar’s message is not only directed at students but also points toward greater collaboration between local colleges and IT companies.
If educational institutions and technology companies work together to promote internships, training programs and industry-oriented projects, Bhandara could gradually develop a stronger and more sustainable IT ecosystem.
The vision of an IT Park in Bhandara can become stronger when local talent, educational institutions and the local IT industry work together toward a common goal.
