Hon. Y. S. Chowdary, Minister of State for Science & Technology, spoke about the recent initiatives by the Govt. of India in the field of Data Science. “Department of Science and Technology, Govt. of India has recently launched a new program called Interdisciplinary Cyber Physical Systems (ICPS) to foster, and promote R&D in the emerging field of research. Cyber Physical Systems (CPS) is a mechanism controlled or monitored by computer-based algorithms, tightly integrated with internet and its users. Through this program, DSC intends to focus on Data Sciences, Internet of Things (IOT) research, and basic research on Cyber Security. Realizing its importance, Department of Science and Technology, Govt. of India is offering financial support to research projects under Big Data Initiative (BDI). Government of India’s Skull India Initiative is aimed at increasing the competencies and average productivity. The flagship programs of Govt. of India like Digital India, Digital Village, and Smart Cities are data intensive, and use data and they generate data that has commercial value. Data with commercial value open opportunities for start-ups and entrepreneurial development. But we should be equipped to harness them. India is the IT capital of the world it and has a pool of mathematics, computer science, and coding skills. India is certainly poised to leverage the advantages of these fields but we need disruptive technologies. I am sure that this Data Science will come out with a road-map of how we can make India ready for these disruptive technologies in data science, and data-driven fields.”
He further added, “I am pleased to see that Data Science Congress 2017 has witnessed so many visionaries and inspirational minds attending and sharing valuable insights related to Data Science. Not only will such events help increase innovations in Big Data but also serve as a platform to search for new geniuses from a pool of young talent.”
Bhupesh Daheria, CEO of Aegis School and Founder of this conference explains, “Data Science Congress is aimed to bring India at the center of hub for skills and research in the fields of Data Science, Analytics, Big Data, AI, Machine Learning, Cyber Security and IOT. We have the largest talent pool of mathematicians and coders which can be groomed for these disruptive high growth fields, and we must showcase them at international forums like the Data Science Congress.”
