( ET

Extract :
Union education minister Dharmendra
Pradhan ( minister.sm@gov.in
),
launched a digital skilling initiative on Monday for 30 crore ( 300 Million ), students from class VII to graduation , which will focus on,
# SKILLING , RE-SKILLING and UP-SKILLING
students via
# INTERNSHIP , APPRENTICESHIPS and EMPLOYMENT in the emerging
technologies
Over 100 Technology Corporate and Manufacturing Firms have already come on board on this platform to provide “ Free of Cost “ emerging technology certifications
" India has to cater to the workforce requirement of the world and TECHNOLOGY will enable us to do so “, Pradhan added.
“ This program is to connect the RIGHT CANDIDATES with SKILL TRAINERS and various COURSES providing expertise on emerging technologies. It includes Artificial Intelligence, Block-chain, Big Data , Data Analytics , Cyber Security and Cloud Computing “
=============================================
MY
TAKE :
Dear Shri
Dharmendra Pradhanji,
You said :
“ India has to cater to the
workforce requirement of the world and TECHNOLOGY will enable us to do so “
And those technologies are :
> Holograms
In the context of using AR – VR headsets for Skill-Training, I draw your attention to my following email :
Ø Peter’s WEB 3.0 …………………………….[ 09 Dec 2018 ]
-
where
I suggested :
Ø This is NOW possible, if our
Policy Makers decide to leverage WEB 3.0 , for skilling 2 crore youth each year , right from their ( internet connected ) homes , eliminating need for
setting up another 15,000 ITIs ( buildings – machineries – teaching staff etc ). Virtual Training
courses will
need very little investment and very quick implementation !
Ø Such Virtual Training courses ( using VR headsets ) can be configured around the needs of other countries which
are facing shortage of skilled manpower for specific jobs
But, since I sent this email 40 MONTHS ago, technology has made great strides
In the area of “
Education and Training “ , AR-VR
headsets are likely to face tough competition from HOLOGRAMS
Here is the FIRST signal :
IKIN Launches Enterprise-Ready Large-Format Holographic Display /
Accesswire / 13 June 2022
Extract :
IKIN™, a leading provider of visual technology solutions for
businesses and consumers, has announced the commercial
availability of its IKIN ARC platform, a scalable, large-format holographic terminal for commercial applications.
The IKIN ARC
employs patented technology that enables high-resolution display of volumetric images in
ambient light and can be used in applications ranging from logistics to
education and training
to advanced engineering and design workshops.
The product is
now available to enterprises and developers
looking to maximize performance through reliable and accessible volumetric content.
The IKIN ARC
does not require any headgear or goggles and allows individuals or small groups to create, view, and manage holographic content.
The device is available in a standard, self-contained form factor with a 15-inch display suitable for many use cases.
This platform
is designed to serve the exacting requirements of multiple markets, including defence , IoT, healthcare, logistics, hospitality, and entertainment.
The
IKIN ARC is complemented by IKIN's RYZ mobile holographic
display, slated for public release in mid 2023.
Dear Shri Pradhanji,
Even if a AR-VR headset sells for Rs 10,000 ( $ 125 ), it is simply beyond the
reach of 300
million students
But it is possible for our millions of Secondary Schools – Colleges and our 18,000
Industrial Training Institutes ( ITI ), to buy and install such a 3D Volumetric
Holographic Terminal , in a few class-rooms
To realize this possibility, I urge you as
follows :
Ø Include local manufacture of 3D Volumetric Holographic Terminals – 3D VHT - , in
already announced PLI ( Production Linked Incentive ) Scheme for Electronic
Devices
( Phased Manufacturing Program– leading
to 100 % local value addition – no component imports –
Ø Donations of funds to Schools / Colleges / ITIs , etc for purchase of 3D VHT , to
be eligible to qualify as CSR ( Corporate Social Responsibility ) obligation of
Companies ( under CSR Act )
Ø Contribution of funds by Companies to 9,606 Atal Tinkering Labs , for
development of TRAINING COURSES based on IKIN platform, to be eligible under
CSR obligations. Training Courses so developed to be available, FREE of COST , to
all 300 million students
With regards,
