I was invited to attend the
annual event of Anurag Group of Institutions, ‘Aagam 2019’ in Hyderabad on March 22nd as its Guest of
Honor. Along with me, Dr. Rajiv Sharma Secretary- SERB, Govt. of India and Bala
Peddigari, Technology Head, Digital Initiatives-TCS were the other guests on
the dais along with the officials of AGI.
The Data Analytics Club was inaugurated
on this day whose mission is to focus on career development and equip students with
the right skills and tools in analytics. In pursuit of this goal, the club will
endeavor to provide hands-on experience through, learning, events, program
simulations and guest lectures. Along with other technologies, Qlik would be an
integral part of learning at this club.
More than 200 students and
Professors attended this event and I spoke on the need for students to learn
data analytics considering the times of transformation and technological
changes we are witnessing. Convergence of technologies in AI, machine learning,
robotics are taking shape and analytics plays a crucial role in this. Gaining data literacy is key for interactions
with these technologies and Qlik provides the latest learning resources through
the academic program to get students and professors get enabled in analytics.
Already, more than 55 students
and Professors from Anurag Group have successfully gained the Qlik Sense
Business Analyst qualification showing their commitment to the academic program
and Qlik. More initiatives to develop wider engagement between AGI and Qlik are
planned
