VIDYA ANDOLAN - Ravi Swaminathan

About the Talk:

Even as the education ecosystem in India suffers from some major challenges, two great waves of technology powered by artificial intelligence and biotechnology are now washing our shores. This could well be the most transformative event in human civilization and redefine global winners and losers. We have no option but to unleash a "Vidya Andolan" if we have to be a winner.

I've listened to the entire monologue and the discussion. great points raised. I think we forget how invaluable this time is. To recover from 800 years of recession, to rebuild our communities, and to reconnect to our best form, every step is critical and must be at godspeed. It seems to me like there is political will. I can also see that there is a great deal of intellectual wealth, like I see here. The gap maybe is the discourse between political figures and intellectuals. This needs to be persuaded to accomplish greater vision of success
