Analytical Notes
⚑ Analytical Note: The AI curriculum mandate is the most impactful proposal in this section — 8 lakh AI-literate graduates per year would represent a significant competitive advantage for TN’s IT sector. The AI Clinic model has strong evidence from Germany’s Mittelstand 4.0 programme, where comparable investment returned an estimated 4–6x in SME productivity improvement. This section is relatively low-cost but potentially high-return.
