National Strategy on Additive Manufacturing (NSAM) is an initiative by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY), Government of India, aimed at positioning India as a global hub for Additive Manufacturing (AM) by fostering innovation, research, and skill development. NSAM envisions the development of a robust ecosystem to promote design-led manufacturing, ensuring industry readiness, competitiveness, and self-reliance in strategic sectors. The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY), Government of India, launched the National Strategy on Additive Manufacturing (NSAM) in February 2022 with the goal of accelerating research, development, and deployment of Additive Manufacturing (AM) technologies across the country. MeitY’s ongoing implementation program under NSAM focuses on promoting AM in both traditional sectors and emerging domains where Indian manufacturing can benefit significantly from AM adoption. Under this initiative, Ganpat University has been designated as the National Additive Manufacturing Centre West (NAMCW). The centre serves as a regional hub with the primary objective of increasing the deployment rate of AM technologies  across six western states Gujarat, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Haryana, Punjab, and Rajasthan. NAMCW focuses on advancing AM through skill development, industry-academia collaboration, innovation, and hands-on training using cutting-edge infrastructure in digital design and additive manufacturing technologies.
