WELCOME TO THE ICTACT BRIDGE 2016

The creation of digital business has started fading the severity of the digital and physical

realms, as the devices are becoming more than just devices that have raised their capability of

even performing negotiations. This has initiated the necessity of bringing the cutting edge

and disruptive technologies for developing clear digital leadership for the present and the

future, developing the sense of being technology savvy and equipping the next gen workforce.

India, with its prime goal of adopting digitalization, aims at emerging to be the much sought

after global digital leader in the near future.

The theme of ICTACT Bridge 2016 conference is “Designing the Future India” and will focus on

how a high-quality education system is a pre-requisite for our country to achieve global

excellence. The conference will host parallel tracks that concentrate on Skilling, Digitalization,

Make in India to aid the nation's growth and academic leadership. An exclusive TPO Conclave

will also be a feature of this conference. I invite all stakeholders from Academia, Industry,

Government and media to join this Digital Movement and make India an exemplary nation in

the global dome.

ICTACT BRIDGE 2016 - DESIGNING THE FUTURE INDIADeveloping India into a developed India is not a dream, but a mission that can be accomplished. India is emerging as one of the fastest growing economies

with more than one billion consumers. India has a distinct comparative factor advantage as a vast reservoir of skilled manpower. The demographic

differentials reveal that over the next 20-30 years, India has distinct advantages in a population profile concentrated in the younger age group, where

many new opportunities can be fully optimized. However, in order to convert these opportunities into actual revenues, India Inc. will have to focus strongly

on the educational ecosystem of the nation. Only an educated populace will catalyze economic growth through multiple channels. Education sector is

undergoing a host of reforms that could possibly transform the country into a knowledge haven and enable our nation to compete with the rest of the

World successfully. “While there is no precise recipe for achieving long-term growth for the nation, high-quality education is a core driver”.

ICT Academy is an Initiative of Government of India, Government of Tamil Nadu and Industry, a pioneering venture under the Public-Private-Partnership
