Education Solutions Technology Framework Conclave
organized here today by PHD Chamber of Commerce and Industry demanded that
digital India should have sufficient policy initiatives so that investments are
encouraged in finding solutions through software development by various
governments in partnership with industry.
The conclave was unanimous in its opinion that
investments in making available the hardware such as laptops and PCs for
students at secondary level by governments such as UP and Tamil Nadu was a good
initiative but in its second phase the policymakers at various level should
also ensure software’s with solutions for various problems.
This would integrate technology with education for
equipping students with sufficient skills and make them employable as
technology would remain a tool and it should be used and applied for seeking
solutions for which public investments are essential, held the conclave.
Inaugurating the Technology Framework conclave, the
Joint Secretary, Department of School Education & Literacy, Ministry of
HRD, Mr. Maneesh Garg said that digital India which would ensure availability
of internet to Indian masses in their interior landscape is a programme that
would achieve the intended objective by 2019.
According to him, one of the objectives of the
digital India programme is to impart skills to students for making them
employable as the futuristic goal of the modern education at secondary level is
one such in the absence of which 80% of the traditional jobs would disappear in
times to come.
Vice President, PHD Chamber, Mr. Anil Khaitan
in his welcome remarks emphasized the need of technology application by one and
all through a tool method so that initial education is amalgamated with
emerging technologies for attaining the desired objectives.
Among others who participated in the conclave
consisted Vice President, Sales & Marketing Group and Managing Director,
Intel South Asia, Ms. Debjani Ghosh; Chairman, Education Committee, PHD
Chamber, Mr. Amit Gupta; Sr. Secretary, PHD Chamber, Dr. Jatinder Singh.
