This is a step towards mass growth. Revolutionising education in government schools via digitisation and similar forms of skill training initiatives is a dire need. I believe it is necessary to leverage vocational training and skill development as it is key in primary and secondary sectors. The use of advanced technology in agriculture is an example. Therefore, it is important for skill development to be accessible to all.

We live in a society where we are employed in positions that are irrelevant to our higher education. The major reason is that either the student is not well adept in their area or because the opportunities are few. In such cases students getting an opportunity to be skilled in cloud computing, which is the foundation of future technology, will play a major impact on higher employability and lead to a brighter future.

It is beneficial for students because it makes them learn an important and useful technology nowadays. Companies will get cloud professionals and the problem of storage will get a solution. However, there is a challenge to make companies engage with it to make it successful in a developing country like India.

Keeping pace with the rapid changes in technology is an arduous task. Currently, the trend is cloud computing. With all data and processing tasks being computed on the cloud, it’s the opportunity of a lifetime. Local development and storage alternatives are slowing creeping into history, as this change occurs. This initiative pushes students to enter new, lucrative fields for themselves, while entering a new realm of possibilities for the entire nation.
