Speaking at the programme, Vamsi Krishna said training in Animation, Visual Effects, Gaming and Comics (AVGC) and Artificial Intelligence would create more jobs for young people.
He said the centres would give rural students access to world-class technology education. Moreover, the MP said Telangana Academy for Skill and Knowledge (TASK) and CtrlS Datacenters Ltd jointly established the talent centre to provide industry-focused training.
AI skill centre aims to support rural youth
Vamsi Krishna said the main aim of the AI skill centre was to connect rural youth with the digital world.
He expressed happiness that students from Manthani and nearby areas no longer needed to travel to Hyderabad or Bengaluru for advanced technology courses.
“Until now, there was a situation where one had to go to distant places like Hyderabad and Bengaluru for courses like artificial intelligence, and now it is a joy that these opportunities are available in Manthani itself,” he said.
The MP thanked Minister Sridhar Babu for helping establish the centre in Manthani. He also urged students and youth to make full use of the facility.
AI skill centre project followed by garment unit plan
Later in the day, Vamsi Krishna and Sridhar Babu laid the foundation stone for a garment unit at Gangapuri.
Officials said the government would build the garment unit at a cost of Rs.7.30 crore.
