Shrivastava also exclaimed that at present he cannot reveal the exact number of seats that BSNL's technical institute will have but said that company's campus will have a capacity to train 1,500 to 3,000 students at one capacity.

"We have a centre in Ghaziabad which is aided by United Nations but is under-utilised. It has a capacity to train between 2,500-3,000 students. Similarly, we have a centre in Jabalpur. There are other 16 centres which have a minimum capacity of 1,000 students," Shrivastava said.

He added that BSNL will add formal courses on cybersecurity at the centre to contribute in government's target of creating 5 lakh professionals skilled in this domain by 2018.

"Cybersecurity is an emerging concern. We have the infrastructure to train people. Today, we have a crunch of cybersecurity experts. This initiative will not only help us but also other organizations with skilled workforce. It will be a dynamic course and its format will decided after due deliberations," Shrivastava said.

BSNL's plan to set-up a technical training institute is part of its asset utilization plan and helps the company to curb losses.
