Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis inaugurated an NVIDIA-powered AI Centre of Competency at Ramdeobaba University in Nagpur and called for education systems to prepare students for jobs shaped by artificial intelligence, semiconductors and quantum computing. He said institutions must focus on employable skills, not just degrees, as technology and business practices change rapidly. Fadnavis said an unnamed technology expert had told him that AI could alter the nature of 75% of jobs within the next 1,000 days, though he added that this would not necessarily mean job losses. He also cited Maharashtra’s Mahavistar app, which uses AI to answer farmers’ questions in their own language.
