Highlighting the importance of Artificial Intelligence (AI), Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy has stressed the need to include it in the curriculum.
At a high-level meeting with senior officials of the Education Department and Vice-Chancellors of universities at his camp office at Tadepalli, near here, on July 13 (Thursday), Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy directed them to take steps to fill the gap between the government’s goals and achievements in the field of education in the backdrop of the changes the world wa experiencing.
“We are behind in steam engine, electricity and computer revolutions. We are not in a position to invent anything. Now, we should be creators in the field of Artificial Intelligence and emerging technologies. We should be a part of the fourth revolution,” the Chief Minister said, adding, “If we take the right steps at the right time, we will become a part of the emerging technologies. As AI grows, one section grows as its creators and another section follows it.”
While adopting AI in the education system for improving teaching methods and learning skills, the students should also be imparted with AI creating skills, and it should become a part of the curriculum.
The Vice-Chancellors should play a key role in this regard as far as higher education is concerned, he said.
A two-pronged strategy to move along with the emerging technologies was necessary to introduce several verticals in a single faculty, like asset management, financial market, risk management and security analysis in B.Com course like in western countries. Similarly, medical education also should be changed with the introduction of AI and Robotics, while changing the syllabus in tune with emerging technologies, he said.
Like in western countries, Andhra Pradesh should also bring in practical applicability and overhaul the teaching methods, preparation of question papers and examination methods by adopting emerging technologies, the Chief Minister said.

“Writing, in general, is a very solitary process,” says Yauvanika Chopra, Associate Director at The New India Foundation (NIF), which, earlier this year, announced the 12th edition of its NIF Book Fellowships for research and scholarship about Indian history after Independence. While authors, in general, are built for it, it can still get very lonely, says Chopra, pointing out that the fellowship’s community support is as valuable as the monetary benefits it offers. “There is a solid community of NIF fellows, trustees, language experts, jury members, all of whom are incredibly competent,” she says. “They really help make authors feel supported from manuscript to publication, so you never feel like you’re struggling through isolation.”

Supreme Court ruling on socialism, secularism
Several principals of government and private schools in Delhi on Tuesday said the Directorate of Education (DoE) circular from a day earlier, directing schools to conduct classes in ‘hybrid’ mode, had caused confusion regarding day-to-day operations as they did not know how many students would return to school from Wednesday and how would teachers instruct in two modes — online and in person — at once. The DoE circular on Monday had also stated that the option to “exercise online mode of education, wherever available, shall vest with the students and their guardians”. Several schoolteachers also expressed confusion regarding the DoE order. A government schoolteacher said he was unsure of how to cope with the resumption of physical classes, given that the order directing government offices to ensure that 50% of the employees work from home is still in place. On Monday, the Commission for Air Quality Management in the National Capital Region and Adjoining Areas (CAQM) had, on the orders of the Supreme Court, directed schools in Delhi-NCR to shift classes to the hybrid mode, following which the DoE had issued the circular. The court had urged the Centre’s pollution watchdog to consider restarting physical classes due to many students missing out on the mid-day meals and lacking the necessary means to attend classes online. The CAQM had, on November 20, asked schools in Delhi-NCR to shift to the online mode of teaching.
