Gaurav Bhadauria
Joint Secretary
Founded in 1995, MPGI has steadily expanded its reach, boasting five schools, 11 colleges, and one university. The institution is renowned for its modern infrastructure, highly qualified faculty (including a significant number of PhDs), and a focus on holistic education. According to Gaurav Bhadauria, Joint Secretary of MPGI, “Our mission has always been to create a complete learning environment for students to excel in their chosen fields”.
Early Adoption of AI and Robotics
MPGI was among the first to recognize the potential of AI and robotics education. It introduced specialized courses in AI, robotics, augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), and computer vision long before these subjects gained widespread attention. The institution’s state-of-the-art infrastructure includes smart classrooms with interactive displays, AR & VR labs, and advanced computer vision facilities.
“We strive to make education interactive and engaging”, said Bhadauria. “Our cutting-edge facilities, such as AI-powered drones, robotics kits, and machine learning software, ensure students gain hands-on experience and an accurate understanding of complex subjects”.
To enhance industry exposure, MPGI has partnered with IBM, establishing an on-campus IBM lab where professionals guide students on modern tools and technologies. Additionally, collaboration with the IIT Kanpur Centre of Excellence has brought advanced educational resources to MPGI students.
A Holistic Approach to Learning
The AI and robotics programs at MPGI emphasize a balance between theory and practical application. In addition to core courses, the institution offers certification programs on niche AI and robotics topics. “Our partnership with IBM enables students to stay ahead of technological advancements”, Bhadauria noted.
This approach equips students not only with technical skills but also with the ability to tackle real-world challenges. The combination of rigorous academics and hands-on learning prepares graduates to excel in a competitive global landscape.
Fostering Entrepreneurship
MPGI goes beyond academics by nurturing entrepreneurial aspirations among its students. The institution’s Entrepreneurship Cell and start-up incubator provide students with the resources and mentorship to transform innovative ideas into successful businesses.
The college organizes leadership programs, seminars, and interactive sessions with business leaders to help students develop essential soft skills, interpersonal abilities, and entrepreneurial mindsets. “We aim to inspire students to dream big and give them the tools to achieve their goals,” Bhadauria remarked.
In line with this vision, MPGI plans to establish a seed fund to support student-led start-ups, empowering aspiring entrepreneurs to turn their ideas into reality.
Future Aspirations
What began as a public school founded by R.S. Bhadauria has grown into a reputed institution in Kanpur, known for its academic excellence and progressive vision. Looking ahead, MPGI plans to expand its course offerings in AI and robotics, introduce medical education, and enhance its entrepreneurship initiatives.
“We are committed to building a brighter future for our students,” Bhadauria concluded. “By investing in advanced infrastructure, new programs, and entrepreneurial support systems, MPGI aims to remain at the forefront of education in the coming years”.
With its innovative approach and dedication to holistic development, MPGI continues to set benchmarks in education, shaping the next generation of leaders, innovators, and entrepreneurs.
