Built with an investment of Rs 1,600 crores, the 43-acre campus is Boeing’s largest such investment outside the US.

The program will provide opportunities for girls and women from across India to learn critical skills in the science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) fields and train for jobs in the aviation sector.
