Cisco has announced collaborating with the National Institute of Open Schooling (NIOS) to begin the 'Cisco Networking Academy Program' in 10 accredited vocational institutes across the country.

The 'Networking Academy Program' aims at teaching students how to design, build, and maintain computer networks. Each vocational institute will be called a 'Cisco Local Academy', and will provide PC hardware and networking information technology essentials to students from year to year.

Cisco will provide each local academy with comprehensive training, Web-based course material, and 24x7 technical support towards fulfilment of the 'Networking Academy Program'.

M C Pant, chairman of NIOS, said, "Through the 'Networking Academy Program' students of accredited vocational institutions across India will receive the benefit of Internet and networking education."

Lokesh Mehra, regional manager for corporate responsibility, Cisco South Asia, said, "Cisco has always believed that the Internet and education will be the two great equalizers of the next century, creating enormous opportunities for people and countries that succeed in harnessing the power of information and knowledge."

Reportedly, there are about a hundred and sixty 'Networking Academy' institutions across the country that enrol between themselves around 7,400 students.
