He added, "These hubs will work in the areas of machine learning, sensors, internet of things. Some will be sector-specific such as in agriculture, geo spatial technology and also proximate technologies such as 5G, supercomputing, quantum sciences, and many others. These will be like a mini-ministry which will be responsible for everything that happens in the country in every sector because it will work as an aggregator and custodian of the knowledge and activities in that area. All ministries from Railways, Water etc. need solutions and we will work for providing the solutions.
