Good morning, thank you for being here and a very warm welcome to you truly honored and

privileged to have you here with us today.

We'd like to start the youth and truth conversation with actually a conversation we had right outside

a couple of minutes ago and that would be that in the past couple of years we've seen

that change is coming in multiple forms, be it in education, be it in the job opportunities,

be it in culture, earlier it would take about 20 to 30 years for us to realize and see

this change but today it's happening at a much faster rate.

How would you suggest or how do you think we as the youth should adapt to change like

this and be prepared for it?

Well, I know I'm in a university, so what I speak is not against it but there's something

as you said change is coming much faster, so particularly educational institutions whether

it's school or college or universities because largely till now education has been a way

of constructing a mindset.

Depending upon where you study everybody develops a certain kind of mindset, a set mind

is a disaster, maybe it is set for a particular purpose and it may serve the purpose as you

said people are thinking education means employment, education is not about employment, employment

is about survival, education is about enhancement of the human being, a time is coming where this

will shift in the direction I'm speaking very shortly probably depending upon the speed

of technological evolution, the speed of change in education has to happen, well all of

you everywhere these days are talking about machine learning or artificial intelligence.

I must tell you my first experience of knowing that machines can do something like this.
