Relearning and Upskilling: Adapting to Technological Advancement

The Rajya Sabha Deputy Chairman talked about how important it is to learn new things and get better at skills to keep up with technology.

He said that using new technology helps people work more efficiently and makes government work better at all levels.

He gave the example of a program called PM-Jan Dhan Yojana, which used things like Aadhaar and phones to make banking available to more people.

If they had not used technology, it would have taken almost 50 years to open as many bank accounts as they have now.

He encouraged young people to come up with new ideas and take risks, because India is on the path to become a developed country by 2047.
