Mizoram Governor addresses conclave organized by Civil 20 Working Group on Education and Digital Transformation


Mizoram Governor Hari Babu Kambhampati has said that India is undergoing a revolution in the digital arena and the digital infrastructure has undergone a sea change in the last nine years. Prime Minister Narendra Modi recently released a Vision Document that details India’s plans to develop and launch 6G, which is the 6th Generation telecom service. This is happening within six months of the roll-out of 5G services.

 The Governor was addressing a conclave organized by the Civil 20 (C20) Working Group on Education and Digital Transformation (EDT) at Mizoram University premises on April 25. The event was co-hosted by the Mizoram University and Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham of Kerala. The conclave was organized in the context of India’s G20 Presidency and its C20 Engagement Group.

Mr Kambhampati said C20 Engagement Group is one of the most crucial channels to achieve India’s commitment to sustainable development and inclusive growth under its G20 initiatives.

Mizoram University and Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham of Kerala have joined hands to launch science, technology and innovation (STI) hubs in the districts of Aizawl and Serchhip in Mizoram. Funded by the Department of Science & Technology, Government of India, this would promote sustainable livelihoods through capacity building, skill development for tribal communities, awareness against substance abuse and digital literacy. Also, the initiative will make awareness about nutrition and preventive health to help improve the overall well-being of the people of Mizoram.
