Delhi Minister urges for tech integration in education

New Delhi, Aug 2 (UNI) “AI should empower teachers, not replace them. It must free them from repetitive tasks so they can do what only humans can – inspire, mentor and guide students,” said Ashish Sood (Minister for Home, power and education, Government of NCT of Delhi).
The minister was speaking at the inaugural address at 'AI in Education for Viksit Bharat 2047' in the National Capital.
The minister stressed the integration of technology in education and highlighted some initiatives, including AI-powered smart classrooms, gamified assessments, and dedicated AI training for teachers. Minister Sood also spoke of the Prime Minister’s vision of ‘double AI’, which is Artificial Intelligence and Aspirational India.
“ Change is the only constant; if we don’t evolve, we risk ending like Nokia-once dominant, now obsolete, “ the minister added.
Several other guests exchanged their insights on technology adaptation in the education sector, including Stephan Vincent-Lancrin (Senior Analyst & Deputy Head, Directorate of Education, OECD), who said, “ India is setting a global benchmark by fostering collaboration across government, academia, and industry to build inclusive and ethical AI ecosystems in education.”
