Maharashtra Minister: Keep Culture Alive in the AI Era
The Maharashtra School Education Minister, Dada Bhuse, is worried that kids are spending too much time on their phones, even when eating.
He wants to make sure children don't forget about their culture and where they come from in this new age of Artificial Intelligence (AI).
He suggested that school books should be so interesting that children would rather look at them than their phones while they eat.
He used his granddaughter as an example, noting that she won't eat unless she's watching cartoons on a mobile device.
The Minister wants to keep kids connected to their traditions and the real world, even with all the new technology.
Maharashtra School Education Minister Dada Bhuse spoke at a textbook development workshop.
The workshop was held under the National Education Policy 2020.
Bhuse emphasized the importance of maintaining cultural connections in the AI era.
