At the valedictory session of the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) Connect 2021, Information and Technology Minister T. Mano Thangaraj said the Information Technology sector will enable other industries to become globally competitive.
Therefore, the Tamil Nadu government is taking many steps towards bridging the gap in information and communications technology (ICT) skills and training people to become technologically savvy.
IT Secretary Neeraj Mittal said this edition of the CII Connect 2021 mainly focused on start-ups and the need for the government to help them in the creation of jobs for the unemployed youth. He emphasised the need for innovation in all types of technologies, and commented that deep tech is altogether a different technology with so many challenges that are to be addressed by entrepreneurs.
