Pranab Mukherjee, the President of India, said recently “Many meritoriousstudents leave the shores of our country and study abroad due to lack ofInstitutes in India conforming to high standards of education”. (Sri. PranabMukherjee Ahmedabad, Gujarat : 01.12.2015 http://presidentofindia.nic.in/speeches-detail.htm?462).

4 Asia has the largest number of vibrant and young brains in the world. It also has one of the oldest, richly diverse culture, and value system. Through the ages, Cochin has become an epitome of Asia and a diverse centre for confluence of old and new, ancient and modern and unity of cultures and communities. Moreover, Cochin is a fast-emerging metropolitan city that has the distinct advantage of being, a aosfiaknnsoawncletudagrey cost effective, educational hub. This fusion of independency, interdisciplinary approach and spirit of co-existence is depicted in the emblem of the asian sanctuary of knowledge. esteem the power of the brain The asian sanctuary of knowledge esteems the power of the human brain and the confidence in the emergence and revolution of the brainpower of knowledge workers as opposed to the manual workers of the previous industrial era. Consequently, the asian sanctuary of knowledge champions and propagates the emergence of Knowledge Society for an equitable and sustainable global economy. knowledge society To explain further, Knowledge Society is the post-communist and post-capitalist, globally transformative, trans-modern social, political, and economic system. It is powered by globalization and the ever-growing scope of information and communication technology. The boundaries of this society grow in accordance with the ever-expanding World Wide Web and the new media associated with it. Human cognition is fundamental to Knowledge Society as it relies on the fact that only the human brain can process information and data available from different sources and turn it into knowledge. Thus besides capital and labour, knowledge has become one of the primary means of production for today and tomorrow. The 21st century will be recognized as the century of the Knowledge Society. Sri. Narendra Modi, the Prime Minister of India, is convinced to say in an inspirational quote “The 21st century is an era of knowledge. If poverty is to be abolished in this century, it can be abolished only through knowledge”. The asian sanctuary of knowledge is anticipatory to a paradigm change in the field of manufacturing and production through the Fourth Industrial Revolution (Industry 4.0). To understand Industry 4.0, we need to first look at the previous 3 industrial revolutions. The first industrial revolution mobilized the mechanization of production using steam power. The second industrial revolution introduced mass production with the help of electric power, conveyor belts on the factory production line

5speeding up manufacturing. The third revolution was digital, using computers to further automateproduction and drive considerable efficiencies. The fourth industrial revolution promises to harnessthe power of the Internet by connecting each part of the production chain through the World WideWeb with minimal human oversight or intervention. It will use sensors to enable personalized, just in time, resource efficient production using optimum capital and labour. Industry 4.0 is characterized by the cyber-physical- production-system (CPPS). Artificial intelligence, machine learning, cloud computing, and networks seem to be the usual presuppositions behind this revolution, which is going to altogether challenge the entire educational system. The paradigm shift in technology has given Industry 4.0 its footing. Preparing the human resource for an era of Google cars, the Internet of Things or Internet of everything, mobile dependent lifestyles, personalized or gene-based health solutions, Cryptography based Crypto currencies, energy efficient systems and a world proactively seeking sustainability appears to be the core of any business and entrepreneurship in this era. Unlikethe past three industrial revolutions, these sea changes in technology will demand phenomenalchanges in how we educate and are being educated. A new education system will develop, gearedtowards a fully conscious and ecologically sustainable world.
