As part of efforts to strengthen India's logistics and infrastructure sectors, the DPIIT, in collaboration with Gati Shakti Vishwavidyalaya (GSV) in Vadodara, Gujarat, organised the workshop. The workshop was organised with the objective of integrating the principles of PM GatiShakti National Master Plan (PMGS-NMP) and the National Logistics Policy (NLP) into the educational curriculum and training of CTIs and State ATIs.

Singh ''emphasised the crucial role of capacity building and skill development in the logistics sector to establish efficient and cost-effective logistics and infrastructure systems'', the commerce and industry ministry said in a statement. Logistics Human Resource Development and Capacity Building is one of the important action items identified under the National Logistics Policy (NLP).
