About COA-TRC

The Government of India had initiated two major campaigns, namely the Startup India initiative, and the National Mission for Skill Development.

Keeping in view these recent initiatives by the Government of India, the Council of Architecture has now decided to open up its academic and research wing through the establishment of Council of Architecture Training and Research Centres (COA-TRC) at five zones in India, with Bhopal as one of its Centre.

The purpose of this COA-TRC is to nurture a culture of entrepreneurship in the creative minds of young Architects and designers, so that their ideas metamorphose into newer the niftier products or services capable of being utilized commercially.
