The Story in Brief
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.
The Indian Opinion
The easy narrative is that AI will either take every job or solve every skills gap. Neither follows from this announcement. The real test is whether centres such as this one provide affordable training, reliable computing access and placements beyond elite campuses. The 75% estimate is attributed to an unnamed expert, so outcomes matter more than forecasts. How many students will complete courses and secure jobs in the next three years?
