He was addressing the ‘National Science Day’ seminar at the University of Kashmir. The theme for National Science Day was ‘Empowering Indian Youth for Global Leadership in Science and Innovation for Viksit Bharat’ The L-G asked all the universities in J&K to set up AI labs for cutting-edge research and innovation. He also called upon the students and the faculty members to collectively work on integrated action, through a five-year plan, to use the power of new technology like AI in the development of Jammu and Kashmir. He said that along with path-breaking discoveries, our focus should also be on such innovations that provide solutions to the challenges of different sectors at the local level.
