00:00I don't say it is a revolutionary step. Every university needs to take these kind of steps
00:07because today the landscape of education is changing. Today it is AI. Every student,
00:14irrespective of the branch of the engineering, irrespective of the program of the degrees,
00:21the students get needs to be exposed to AI. The future is going to be AI. So
00:28it's already started. AI started since 1970. But AI now in the last three, four years, we are seeing
00:37if you don't get up now, there will be no future for our students, either it is an engineering or
00:44any
00:44other programmed engineers, conventional courses, graduates. So AI needs to be part and parcel of
00:53the education system, understanding the need and importance of the AI. Today we have signed an
00:59MOU and we are providing the access to the Google contents at a cost of rupees 350, which normally
01:07costs for an individual students around 20,000 rupees. So there are many things. One is a student
01:14training, internship training, other than giving a content, internship training for the students,
01:20around 20,000 to 25,000 students, complete faculty training. All these are the programs of a university.
01:27That's why university signed an MOU with Google and Qualcomm.
01:31So all the colleges which have...
01:32Yeah, yeah. Are we affiliated to VTU? 230 colleges affiliated to VTU. A faculty will get an advantage.
01:39Students will have an advantage. So in that context, today we have signed an MOU with Google.
01:44AI, completely AI enabled. Opportunities when they learn, when they get trained. Today jobs are created
01:52on the AI sector, more on AI sector rather than the conventional sector of building a software.
01:59There are many things which students also knows. What is the need of the award? That they need a
02:05platform. We are giving a platform. They have to learn and get settled in their life called employability.
02:11Adding to our Honorable Vice Chancellor's vision and also what exactly happens with the MOU.
02:19Every student would like to take this particular domain, email, ID. See, every institution has their
02:27own domain. So now we would like to give to all the four lakh students so that they know and
02:33they have
02:33the identity of themselves about their alma mater in the future and also when they are learning.
02:40They have their own email IDs and also all the tools available in the Google for their learning.
02:46So this is what the major step and also the major things which the university has taken in the past.
02:55Basically, the communication. The first and foremost thing is communication and also the identity.
03:02The identity wise, if you see, if you say, throughout the world, everyone knows about
03:08Vichita Technology University. But when you go to the engineering colleges, they talk about the
03:13engineering colleges email ID. But when it comes to the university, so if you go to any world,
03:19they talk about this particular identity. Okay, this person is from VTU. So let me give some kind of
03:26features and also support this particular. See, the thing which the university is looking at is
03:34the industry is looking at the skills perspective. So the academicians look from the strong foundation
03:41perspective. The challenge which all of us face is these two things are not matching. So that means the gap
03:48is
03:48increasing between the skills and the foundation which they are learning. So that is the gap which we
03:53want to try to bring into and close it so that the foundation is very strong. At the same time,
03:59they
03:59go to the world with the finishing school or the skill based things which industry was looking at. Put your
04:06efforts,
04:07the best efforts, learn, grow along with your own friendship and your own friends. Please grow and learn and learn
04:17from each other.
04:17That is the first and foremost thing which I would like to give to all the student friends.
04:22At the same time, what you need to do is understand the market, where exactly industry is moving, where exactly
04:28the
04:28companies are moving. See, we have a lot of opportunities in India now. So we are all moving from the
04:33service
04:33base to the product based companies and product based industries. So now we have to focus on those things because
04:40industry is looking at how exactly you can build your product. So now in the past, maybe in the 2000s,
04:47we were focusing
04:48on the service. So now it is more into the products. So let us hope for the best and bring
04:53everyone together and bring our
04:54own product so that we will be we'll be focusing on our prime minister's focus. That is Vikishit Bharat 2047.
05:02So we will be independent of anybody outside the world.
05:06Bye.
