An initiative of the Acsia Foundation Trust, the CSR arm of Acsia Technologies, the 12-week program commenced in July 2025 – was designed to enhance industry readiness for 50 students from Central Polytechnic College, Vattiyoorkavu, and Government Women’s Polytechnic College, Kaimanam.
M.

Initiatives like this Finishing School strengthen that bridge by preparing young minds to think critically and act confidently,” said Prof. Dipankar Banerjee.
