Rwandan engineers undergoing training in TNAU taken on technical industrial visit to Aquasub Engineering
A team of irrigation/agricultural engineers of Rwanda, who are undergoing a capacity-building training programme at Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Coimbatore, as part of the Central Government's initiative to promote international collaboration in agriculture and water resource management, undertook a technical industrial visit to Aquasub Engineering (Aqua Group), Coimbatore.
Eight Rwandan engineers received specialised hands-on training in pump selection procedures for various agricultural field conditions. They were exposed to performance evaluation and troubleshooting of pump systems at the industry that figures among India's large-scale pump manufacturers. At the company where texmo and Aquatex brand pump sets are manufactured for domestic use, and the atx brand for international markets, the Rwandan engineers gained insights into advanced technologies in irrigation, soil and water conservation, farm machinery, and bio-energy.
They learnt about design of irrigation systems using energy-efficient agricultural pumps, special application pumps, and solar-powered pumping systems, said V.A. Sureshkumar (Manager – Marketing Department), who coordinated the training session.
Unit heads U.V. Ravi and T. Thirumeny apprised the Rwandan team of the latest manufacturing technologies, quality control measures, and production processes.
A highlight of the visit was the exposure to Industry 4.0 operations, featuring advanced robotic systems and automated manufacturing technologies, said S. Pazhanivelan, Director, Centre for Water and Geospatial Studies, TNAU.
