President Droupadi Murmu said on Monday that NEP 2020 lays emphasis on the need for building knowledge society and that premier educational institutions have a crucial role to play in preparing youth in niche areas such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), Data Analytics and other such fields.
Inaugurating the new campus of Indian Institute of Information Technology (IIIT) in Dharwad, she said that if by using Artificial Intelligence, integration of bio-technology, nano-technology and neuro-sciences can be achieved, then new types of innovations can be brought about in the fields of health, environment and fields that are directly related to common people.
