So, you have to constantly keep balancing on your priorities for greening your economy."She noted that the fear that technology will replace the human hand is "real and live." She called it "important" to equally see both the benefits of technology and transition to the greening. Sitharaman stressed that industries in India are very rapidly resetting themselves to bring in Web three to shift over to Industry 4.0."It is important for us to equally as much as we see the benefits of technology, as much as we see the transition to the greening is important. We also have to design some economy, some layers in the economy which will be labour intensive and provide them that skills. Even at this stage as I'm talking, industries in India are very rapidly resetting themselves to bring in the web three to move over to industry 4.0," Sitharaman said."Now if the existing labour remains where they are, they are not going to be up-skilled to meet up with these technology infusions. There will be a crisis even for the manufacturer, so will be his next generation of workers. So, governments of the day together with industry will have to constantly, even as they balance this climate versus productivity move and invest more towards greening. You have to on the other side bring in skill sets which are required for more technology-driven society and that is where you will bring this work," she added.Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
