The National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 completed three years of its inception on July 29 and has brought dramatic changes in the educational ecosystem, by bringing in multidisciplinarity to implementing multiple entry and exit options. Apart from policy changes in schools and colleges, teacher training has been emphasised to ensure the effective implementation of NEP 2020. Technical education will see a massive facelift with the introduction of a few inclusive initiatives giving a boost to regional language as the medium of learning.

In the Finale, participants will unveil their concepts, substantiating their technical viability and real-world application With over 100 teams from higher educational institutions poised to engage in presenting their ideas and solutions in the cybersecurity domain, the stage is set for KAVACH 2023, a national hackathon organised jointly by the Ministry of Education's Innovation Cell, AICTE, Bureau of Police Research and Development, and the Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Centre (Ministry of Home Affairs) to kick-start its journey. The initiative aims to unearth innovative ideas and technological solutions to address the challenges confronting law enforcement agencies and ordinary citizens in the realm of cybersecurity.  The hackathon will be launched across five strategic nodal centres: Bhopal's IES College of Technology, Bangalore's AMC Engineering College, Bhubaneswar's Centurion University of Technology and Management, New Panvel's Pillai College of Engineering...

In the 1940s a journalist asked Claude Shannon, one of the founders of information theory, “can machines think?” Shannon said, “I compute so.” Both his distinction, between thinking and computing, and their deliberate conflation in his aphorism help us understand the current spectacle around ‘AI’. Governments worldwide have moved from a position of “we’re catching up” ignorance, to embarking on “regulating AI”, to a self-regulatory Bill of Rights.
