AI-Driven Skilling: Transforming India's Higher Education for the Digital Age

23rd May 2025, New Delhi

Education is a catalyst for transformation, breaking barriers and creating opportunities for a brighter future. While it drives societal progress, equitable access to quality learning remains a challenge in India, especially in rural and underprivileged areas. Resource disparities hinder educational equity, but technology is reshaping the landscape. With instant access to vast online resources, students can learn beyond textbooks, fostering independent research and exploration. Interactive tools like educational software, whiteboards, and virtual labs enhance engagement, making learning more dynamic and effective. Technology is bridging the education gap, empowering students with better opportunities. Keeping in mind the modern-day challenges in the education spectrum, Dataquest is organising an exclusive full day conference on 23rd May2025 in New Delhi to address the challenges in the education sector and seek the possible answers from the experts.

Dataquest was launched in December 1982 as the first IT magazine in India. Since then, DQ has actively been advocating the role of technologies across the sectors. Dataquest, the leading and oldest technology magazines in India, is celebrating its 42 years journey. Join the bandwagon with the leading visionaries, tech leaders and influencers of ICT ecosystems.

The conference will host the visionaries, technology & business leaders, leading educationists, policy makers sharing their insights and opinions on the technology transformation and current skilling, training and developments of the modern-day higher education in India.
