Hemant Soren government of Jharkhand has taken a historic step to give new heights of technology to the future of the state. An ambitious mega plan worth ₹1150 crore has been approved to bring about change through Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the state. The direct aim of this initiative is not only to modernize the administrative and industrial functions but also to open new doors of employment for the youth of the state. Through this project, the government is aiming to provide employment to 1 lakh youth in the next few years, which will give a new identity to Jharkhand.
What is Hemant Sarkar’s ‘AI Vision’?
This mega plan of the state government has been prepared mainly keeping in mind the vision of ‘Skill India’ and ‘Digital Jharkhand’. Artificial Intelligence will be used to improve the delivery of education, health, agriculture and government services. Experts believe that with the implementation of this scheme, Jharkhand will join the race to become the major ‘tech hub’ of the country. The government’s emphasis is on the fact that technology should not be limited to cities only, but its benefits should also reach the youth in rural areas of the state, so that the problem of migration can be curbed.
Golden opportunity for employment for 1 lakh youth
The biggest feature of this scheme is the aspect of ’employment generation’ involved in it. This ₹1150 crore project will give a boost to data analytics, software development, machine learning and AI based industries. With this, the youth of the state will be able to get better paying jobs in their own home state. The government is also preparing to open special centers to train youth in AI and cutting-edge technologies. This will not only develop technical talent at the local level, but will also create global level opportunities for the youth of Jharkhand.
A ‘game changer’ for the future of Jharkhand
This initiative can prove to be a ‘game changer’ in the industrial scenario of Jharkhand. The state, rich in mineral resources, is now moving towards technology and innovation. This mega plan will not only increase the GDP of the state, but will also bring transparency and speed in government work. According to government data, this scheme is expected to benefit lakhs of people directly and indirectly in the coming years. This big initiative of the Chief Minister has infused a new energy among the youth of the state and they are now excited to pursue their career in the technical field.
