PRAYAGRAJ : The Motilal Nehru National Institute of Technology (MNNIT) and the National Rail and Transportation Institute (NRTI)— a deemed-to-be university in Vadodara, Gujarat—could soon join hands for academic support and joint research works in the field of transportation, inform officials. If all goes as per plan, the experts of the two institutions would collaborate on projects related to various modes of transportation including railway, road and air, they add.
