India eye to be a global leader of 4th IRTs
The
New Industrial Policy framed by the Ministry of Commerce in consultation with
all Ministries of Government of India, State Governments, Industry and all
stakeholders embodies the Government’s intention to align India with the
emerging technologies of drones, artificial intelligence and block chain.
This
was stated by the Union Minister of Commerce & Industry and Civil Aviation,
Suresh Prabhu, at the launch of the Centre for the Fourth Industrial
Revolution, India, by the Geneva-based World Economic Forum (WEF) in New Delhi.
The
Minister further said that the policy is in sync with the challenges and
opportunities for India with the fourth industrial revolution technologies and
will place the country firmly in the global supply and value chains.
Suresh
Prabhu went on to state that the fourth Industrial revolution is driven by
digital technology and India is on track to adopt digital technology in every
aspect of governance.
This
will help the country to leap frog into the global supply chain. Minister gave
the example of the recently launched Digi yatra by the Ministry of Civil
Aviation as an example of India’s vision to transform the country into a
digitally empowered society.
The
WEF is setting up a Centre for the Fourth Industrial Revolution in Maharashtra.
The other centres are in San Francisco, USA, Japan and China. Artificial
intelligence, block chain and drones are the first three projects of the centre
in India. WEF will work in collaboration with the NITI Aayog, business leaders,
academia and start-ups in these projects.
