In this connection, he spoke on the importance of Education and Technology for connecting communities within the country and across the globe. He also elaborated on significance of the C20 Engagement Group, representing the world’s civil society and NGOs, as one of the most crucial channels achieve India’s commitment to sustainable development and inclusive growth under its G20 initiatives.

Inaugurating a Science-Technology-Innovation (STI) Hub at Aizawl today as part of the C20 working group on Education & Digital Transformation, Dr Hari Babu Kambhampati, Governor of Mizoram spoke of how India has undergone a revolution in the digital arena. Not only are we now headed towards a 6G revolution, but also we are now calculating our cost of living based on digital needs. “Earlier, we used to calculate the per capita cost of living on the basic needs of roti, kapda aur makaan, which means food, clothing and shelter. However, in a modern digitized society, these parameters have changed because our basic and fundamental needs have gone beyond these three things. Today, we need to calculate the index of cost of learning. And, in a modern society, the cost of learning is parallel to the cost of living. The cost of learning includes tools of learning and acquiring knowledge.

The Governor said that India has become a knowledge hub and destination. Therefore, the true index to measure an economy is not its GDP, but its GDKP! The Gross Domestic KNOWLEDGE Potential! The ‘K’ factor, which is the knowledge factor, is critical, and India is far ahead of others in the knowledge factor.Education and knowledge, coupled with the use of technology to enhance education and knowledge, are the true measure of a successful and growing nation.

For Mizoram and parts of the North East region, Governor Hari Babu Kambhampati suggested Education & Digital Transformation offers a pathway to come out of the reliance on subsistence agriculture in a world of unpredictable climate patterns. He also stressed the need for adoption of the advancements in technology and digital infrastructures to our education system more aggressively. He believed that Education and knowledge, coupled with the use of technology to enhance education and knowledge, are the true measure of a successful and growing nation.
