Rahul Gandhi's Recent Tamil Nadu Visit

On Tuesday, Rahul Gandhi visited Gudalur in Tamil Nadu to address the gathering of students and teachers at the Golden Jubilee Celebrations of the St. Thomas English High School. He asked schools to turn information in the age of artificial intelligence into knowledge and wisdom. He said, "We hear about the IT revolution, AI and data every day, and we hear that this is the information age where information is freely available and accessible. But the job of a school like this is to create people who are able to look at information, turn that information into knowledge and even more importantly, behave with wisdom."
