Education would be one of the sectors benefiting in a big way from the rollout of 5G technology in the country, Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan said on Saturday. Education will be one of the major beneficiary sectors of this 5G rollout,” said Pradhan.
The launch of 5G telecom services would help in the implementation of ‘digital university’ being envisioned by the Ministry of Education, he said.”Because, now, we are envisioning a digital university. We are going for virtual labs. We are going for virtual teachers. In all the areas, if we develop quality content and presentable content, how do we send them to the nook and corner of the country? 5G will be the major vehicle to reach out to the unreachable,” Pradhan further mentioned.
Digital economy, healthcare, education and other sectors would see the benefit of 5G. With the launch of 5G services, India is joining the “premier league” and the common man would immensely benefit from it, Pradhan said.
“The new 5G network is going to create a sea-change in the entire scenario. I see the poor man will be the major beneficiary of this 5G rollout,” he said.
India is soon going to become a technological superpower in addition to becoming an economic superpower, he said referring to the grand 5G launch. Observing that the country is aspiring to become an economic superpower and a knowledge-based economy, he said innovation and entrepreneurship would take the nation forward.
