Industry 4.0 refers to the current trend of automation and data exchange in manufacturing technologies. It includes cyber-physical systems, the Internet of things, cloud computing and cognitive computing. This fourth industrial revolution is changing how products are made and improving interconnectivity across supply chains. However, for developing countries like India it presents challenges as well, such as the high costs of implementation, lack of data analytics skills and reluctance to innovation. Education 4.0 aims to address these challenges by improving the education system in India through new technologies and a focus on creativity to prepare students for the skills needed in modern Industry 4.0.

7. What is Industry 4.0?
•The term ‘Industry 4.0’ was coined by
the German government in 2011.
•Industry 4.0 refers to a new phase in the
Industrial Revolution that focuses heavily
on interconnectivity, automation,
machine learning, and real-time data.
•Industry 4.0, which encompasses IIoT
and smart manufacturing, marries
physical production and operations with
smart digital technology, machine
learning, and big data .
•The aim is to create a complete and
better connected ecosystem for
companies that focus on manufacturing
and supply chain management.
• All the companies need for
connectedness and access to real-time
insights across processes, partners,
The Education 4.0 India report was
jointly released by the WEF, UNICEF
and YuWaah (Generation Unlimited
India).
The Education 4.0 report assesses the
progress and findings from Education
4.0.
Education 4.0 includes online assessments,
robotics, Artificial Intelligence (AI), big data,
Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), and
virtual environments as tools set to replace the
awkward old procedures of conventional education
through creativity and student centric.
It aims to address the inequalities in
the country’s education sector and
recommends strategy to improve the
Indian school system to empower
students using ed-tech.
Education 4.0 India was launched in May 2020,
bringing together over 40 partners from ed tech,
government, academics, and start-ups. We are,

8. Industry 4.0 is revolutionizing the way companies manufacture,
improve and distribute their products. Manufacturers are integrating
new technologies, including Internet of Things (IoT), cloud
computing and analytics, and AI and machine learning into their
production facilities and throughout their operations.
Industry 4.0 is radically transforming the employment landscape as
well as the future skills requirements for jobs. This demand for new
skills will prove challenging to education 4.0 as it will prepare the
youth of tomorrow to develop those much-needed skills.
Industry 4.0 is going to change the way we work, the way
we live, the way we think and the way we relate things with
other. One of the major components of industry 4.0 is
Artificial Intelligence (AI). It enables machines to think,
learn and in decision making also.

15. Challenges and Bottlenecks for Implementing Industry 4.0 in India

16.  Falling Behind
Based on the rankings above, India so behind in Industry 4.0 implementation India risks remaining at the same low rank even
a few years from now. Prime minister Narendra Modi’s “Make in India” initiative places India in direct competition with China.
However, unless we implement Industry 4.0 concepts, India will never reach the level that China has set. Industrial companies
must take different approaches to leveraging the power of IIoT in these challenging times, and reforming the operating model
with IIoT solutions will prove to be very helpful.
Challenges Facing India’s Adoption
1.High cost of scaling
2.Lack of resources/knowledge to scale
3.Lack of data analytics skills in-house
4.Jugaad attitude from the plant-floor to management level
5.Lack of courage among investors or management.
6.Lack of trust and a fear of failure
7.Lack of interest in innovation
8.Lack of coordination from management
9.Less support from shop-floor employees
