DCM Young Entrepreneurs School, Ludhiana, hosts event on technology, startups
At least 600 schoolkids are participating in a technology and startup event that got underway on Saturday at DCM Young Entrepreneurs School here.
Considered to be among the nation’s largest technology and startup festivals, AITSAV-4.0 got off to a strong start as students showcased their talent in the fields of artificial intelligence (AI), robotics and emerging technologies. This year’s theme is ‘Smart minds, smart technology’.
Inaugurating the festival, Anirudh Gupta, Chief Executive Officer (CEO), DCM Group, said the future belongs to technology and startups. He said limiting students to textbook knowledge alone was no longer sufficient.
“They must be provided with opportunities that encourage them to develop new ideas, find solutions to real-life problems and transform their ideas into reality,” Gupta added.
Meenu Chopra, principal, welcomed the guests and participants, and Puneet Goyal, convener, introduced the concept of the event and delved into various path breaking events being held as part of the festival.
The organisers said the festival is aimed at inspiring students to become future entrepreneurs and innovators. The festival is hosting 20 competitions across three age categories for students.
