Hyderabad: Deputy chief minister Bhatti Vikramarka on Saturday said that the Marri Chenna Reddy Human Resource Development Institute (MCRHRDI) should provide training to all the principal secretaries and village-level officials to facilitate the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in governance.Addressing the governing body sub-committee meeting of the institute, Bhatti expressed his desire for Telangana to become the first state in the country to integrate AI in governance fully. “Proper training must be imparted to achieve this goal,” he said. “College principals must be trained on the steps required to obtain NAAC accreditation. This would enhance the chances of securing Central funds. Two-day training sessions must be conducted at district and mandal levels for self-help group (SHG) leaders to help them advance financially and become economically empowered,” Bhatti said.Stating that the MCRHRD institute should be positioned as the best training institute in the country, the deputy chief minister assured full support from the govt. “The institution spans 30 acres and is headed by a highly experienced former chief secretary. Officials and staff must make the best use of the services offered by the institute. The institution must strive for self-sufficiency and achieve financial growth. Only then will it evolve to the expected standards,” he said.“For the past ten years, the MCRHRD institute has been neglected. Going forward, the sub-committee will meet once every six months to monitor progress. Institute officials and staff must be equipped to adapt to the latest global technologies and developments,” he said. Roads and buildings minister Komatireddy Venkat Reddy, IT minister D Sridhar Babu, MCRHRD director general, and vice-chairperson A Santi Kumari attended the meeting.
