Mysuru well placed to leverage its strength in cybersecurity and AI, says Yaduveer
Mysuru MP Yaduveer Krishnadatta Chamaraja Wadiyar said that the city was well-positioned to leverage its strength in cyber security, information technology and the emerging field of artificial intelligence (AI). He was interacting with students of Vidyavardhaka College of Engineering (VVCE) on 'Youth as Nation Builders' here on Friday. Elaborating on a query about his own venture in the field of cybersecurity, Mr. Yaduveer said that Bengaluru was saturated, and Mysuru given its connectivity and the prevalent ecosystem was in a position of strength in not only cyber security but also the emerging field of AI. There was a lesson to be learnt from the growth of Bengaluru which had no model, and efforts should be made to preserve Mysuru's ambience. Mr. Yaduveer said that India was not only an emerging and fastest growing economy but was also a stable one, and the demography of the country was favourable as the youth constituted a large portion of the population. He said there was a unique opportunity to harness and channelise the energy of the youth to the task of nation-building. In this context, he said there had been changes in the last 10 years with more opportunities to the youth by way of easy access to credit to encourage the startup ecosystem. The youth could be harbingers of change from being job seekers to job creators and take the entrepreneurial spirit of the country forward, he added. On the question of greater control or censorship over social media platforms Mr. Yaduveer said a lot of content on social media platforms in India are distractions, whereas in China the content focused on skilling and training. 'Even the U.S. monitors the content on social media platforms as some have ideological underpinnings, and we do not want the youth to be distracted,' he said. On the vision of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, he said Mr. Modi was pushing for Viksit Bharat or Developed India by 2047. After 11 years of the Modi government, there was a need to engage with all sections of society, starting with youth on the changes that have been ushered and the vision forward, he added. B. Sadashive Gowda, principal, VVCE, said more than 65% of the country's population was below 35 years, and the youth force could make a difference and contribute to the emergence of India as a progressive and a developed country. Gundappa Gowda, president, Vidyavardhaka Sangha, P. Vishwanath, secretary, M.M. Nikhilesh, founder of Kalisu Foundation were present.
