Kerala, a state on the southwestern coast of India, plans to produce at least 20,000 blockchain experts within the next two years.
According to RepublicWorld.com, the state announced this information at BlockHashLive 2019 this Sunday. The goal here is for India to get a headstart on future technologies.Source link hereBlockchain experts, huh? It's just that India is like China, more on blockchain than Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.I just don't know how the hell are they going to get those numbers by 2022? I'm not saying the numbers are impossible, but I'm just kinda curious about it.
To all of the India Bitcoin and blockchain community here on Bitcointalk, what would be your opinion or reaction about this one?
Do you think it signals the "much-needed" faith that the Indian state or government would finally "change their hearts" about their negative views on Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies?
Thanks in advance.
Haha I think it's just more of a Sunday morning thought of some politician who dreamt about it on a long sunday night. I am not saying it's impossible but 20000 is a fairly large number and also keeping in mind that the formal education system doesn't has any specific course on blockchain in India it's hard to train such large amount of people in this field. There needs to be a proper vocational course but that also won't be joined by lot of people as the field is fairly new and not a lot of people realize that how vast and rewarding this field is going to be in near future.
