Dear IEEE Member,

We hope this message finds you well. We are thrilled to inform you that the IEEE Pune Section in association with the IEEE Sensor Council Chapter, Pune Section, is launching DronArjun'23 - a Mentor-Mentee Program designed to foster research excellence. On this auspicious occasion of Ganesh Chaturthi, a day dedicated to Lord Ganesha, the deity of wisdom and knowledge, we embark on this remarkable journey with the blessings and guidance of the divine.

DronArjun aims to bridge the gap between experienced mentors and aspiring mentees in the field of research. It is our sincere endeavour to nurture and empower the next generation of researchers. It will be a three-month research program where the ‘Dronas’-Mentors will be guiding the ‘Arjunas’-Mentees, in their research. Students will have to select an area of research, and accordingly, a problem statement will be given to them.

Registrations for the event are open! Participate in the program by filling out your personal details and selecting your area of interest.
