Union Minister of Communications and Development of North Eastern Region, Jyotiraditya Scindia inaugurated the International Workshop on 6G Standardization at Vigyan Bhawan, New Delhi on Wednesday. Amit Agrawal, Chairman DCC and Secretary (Telecom); Manish Sinha, Member (Finance); Rudra Narayan Palai, Member (Technology) and Deb Kumar Chakrabarti, Member (Services) were among the dignitaries present on the dais.
The workshop was organised by the Telecommunication Engineering Centre (TEC), the technical arm of the Department of Telecommunications (DoT).
The event brought together leading experts from government, academia, industry and international standardisation bodies to deliberate on the evolving global roadmap for sixth generation telecommunications technologies.
Emphasised on India’s ambition to play a meaningful role in shaping the global telecommunications architecture of the future, the Minister stated, “As we advance on this journey, our role must be anchored in four key pillars. First, ensuring global interoperability—across devices, networks and services—so that the world communicates seamlessly within a unified ecosystem.
Second, developing a common technical framework, in collaboration with global bodies such as 3GPP and ITU, to establish shared standards across radio interfaces, core networks, spectrum and service architecture.
Third, accelerating innovation and research, where clear global standards guide researchers, startups and industry in transforming breakthroughs into real-world solutions.
Fourth, and most importantly, ensuring inclusive growth and indigenous innovation.
The workshop served as an important platform to review global developments in 6G research, spectrum planning, network architecture, artificial intelligence-enabled networks and emerging applications, while strengthening India’s participation in international standards development processes.
