On the occasion of National Technology Day, it is important to stress the need to integrate new technologies in educational institutions and professional spheres. However, it has been observed that insufficient staff training is becoming a relevant issue in the market. Hence, training and upskilling and re-skilling of employees for the new technology is the need of the hour. Therefore, new technology adoption requires a long-term strategy that requires dedicated time, effort and expertise.
