Natung calls for uploading realistic data<\/strong><\/h2>\n

ITANAGAR, 15 Sep:<\/strong> The Arunachal Pradesh Engineering Service Association (APESA) celebrated the 57th Engineers’ Day with a seminar on this year’s theme, ‘Driving sustainability with engineering solutions, embracing the latest artificial intelligence (AI)-driven technologies’, at the state banquet hall here on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Engineers’ Day is celebrated every year on 15 September to commemorate the birth anniversary ofeminent Indian engineer and statesman Sir Mokshagundam Visvesvaraya.<\/p>\n

Home Minister Mama Natung, who attended the celebration as a guest, advocated “realistic and holistic data collection and uploading to appropriate portal as the inputs to AI to get correct data analysis outputs or results.”<\/p>\n

\u00a0The minister emphasised on ensuring accuracy of field data while preparing detailed project reports to avoid any impediment or incompatibility during execution of projects by the field engineers.<\/p>\n

He advocated “generation of self-employment, such as entrepreneurship and development of skilled manpower” by the unemployed engineers, “instead of seeking contract works and government jobs, as the government has its own limitation to fulfill all.”<\/p>\n

The minister emphasised also on employment opportunity in all public sector undertakings operating in the state, such as the NEEPCO, NHPC, PGCIL, etc.<\/p>\n

Chief Secretary (i\/c) Padmini Singla emphasised on the application of latest AI-driven technologies in traffic management, caring for the environment, and controlling pollution in towns.<\/p>\n

APESA president TK Tara in his keynote speech reiterated the association’s 10-point charter of demands.<\/p>\n

Stating that the main points of the charter of demands have not been fulfilled yet, he appealed to the state government to adopt the Arunachal Pradesh Engineering Service Rules; ensure on-time conduct of departmental promotion committee meetings;discontinue functional, unsanctioned and out-of-turn appointments; ensure manning and heading of engineering departments by engineers; and create the post of an “engineer-in-chief.”<\/p>\n

CM’s technical adviser KC Dimole, NIT Jote Assistant Professor Dr Achyut Sarkar, and NERIST Assistant Professor Ashwini Kumar Patra spoke on the day’s theme as resource persons.<\/p>\n

Arunachal Unemployed Engineers Association president Bamang Ampa spoke on the topic ‘Generation of employment avenue in Arunachal Pradesh’.<\/p>\n
