Thiruvananthapuram [ Kerala]: Minister for Higher Education Dr. R. Bindu emphasized the necessity of leveraging innovative ideas in IT, artificial intelligence, and robotics for societal reconstruction. She asserted that embracing these technologies is crucial for societal progress while inaugurating the 10th anniversary celebrations of the ICT Academy of Kerala (ICTAK) at C-DAK Amphitheatre, Technopark. The academy functions in the Technopark with the cooperation of the Government of Kerala.
Dr. Bindu highlighted the significant role of ICTAK in transforming Kerala into a knowledge society over the past decade. ICTAK’s contributions have been pivotal in addressing unemployment among educated youths and bridging the skill gap between the education system and the industry.
