AMRELI, GUJARAT, INDIA, August 22, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Hiten Bhuta, Founder of OpenClearFuture and an AI and strategic-foresight practitioner, led an intensive artificial intelligence training program organized by Amreli Kapol Mahajan and supported by Global Kapol Vikas on August 11, 2026, bringing students, entrepreneurs, industrialists and community leaders together for practical learning about AI and the future it is beginning to shape.— Hiten Bhuta
More than 250 people attended the approximately three-hour program in Amreli, with participants including students from local schools and college, entrepreneurs, business leaders and representatives of leading community associations. The program was also livestreamed, extending its reach to thousands of online viewers, according to organizers.
The program took on added national relevance just four days later. On August 15, Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced from the Red Fort that India would work to train one crore young people in AI skills over the coming year, with the objective of strengthening the ability of Indian youth to lead in the emerging AI economy.
The Amreli initiative was conceived and conducted independently before that announcement, yet its purpose closely reflected the direction articulated by Prime Minister Modi: AI capability should reach young people and communities across India, not remain concentrated among technology professionals or in major metropolitan centers.
For Bhuta, that is both an AI leadership challenge and a future-readiness challenge.
“AI literacy should not be limited to big cities or technology experts. Helping people learn practical AI is a social and national responsibility,” said Hiten Bhuta.
Bhuta’s session moved from the AI tools people can use today to the deeper changes artificial intelligence could create over the coming decades. Participants were introduced to ChatGPT, Google Gemini and Anthropic’s Claude, with discussion and demonstrations designed to help them understand how leading generative-AI systems can assist with research, learning, communication, ideation and business tasks.
The program also introduced AI agents and the concept of moving beyond a question-and-answer chatbot toward AI systems capable of carrying out structured, multi-step activities. Bhuta discussed how individuals and organizations can begin thinking about the design of AI agents, where human oversight remains important and how AI capability can move from experimentation to practical application.
A major part of the session looked further ahead, examining how AI could influence education, professions, entrepreneurship, business models and everyday human life over the next 30 years.
That long-term perspective is central to Bhuta’s work through OpenClearFuture, his AI consulting, training and strategic-foresight initiative. OpenClearFuture documents a series of foresight programs extending back decades, including work around the emerging Internet Age in 1997-1998, the Digital Economy in 2010 and artificial intelligence in 2020. Its current WALI-2055 work examines possible technological and societal changes over the next three decades.
Bhuta’s approach to predicting future trends is based on strategic foresight: studying emerging technologies, behavioral changes, economic forces and longer-term signals to identify developments before they become mainstream and then helping people and organizations prepare for multiple possible futures. OpenClearFuture applies this approach to AI transformation, workforce readiness, executive leadership and long-range scenario planning.
The Amreli program translated that future-oriented thinking into community-level action.
Organizers described it as a first-of-its-kind AI learning initiative of this scale and community reach in Amreli and Gujarat, combining students, established entrepreneurs, senior community figures and business leaders in the same practical discussion about artificial intelligence and future readiness.
Among those attending was 93-year-old Gandhian veteran Durga Mehta, niece of Gujarat’s first Chief Minister, Dr. Jivraj Mehta. Her participation brought a distinctive intergenerational dimension to a program centered on one of the newest technologies shaping society.
Business participation included Dineshbhai Bhuva of Amreli-based Sheetal Cool Products, associated with the widely known Sheetal Ice Cream brand, and Prakash Mehta of Bhavnagar, founder of Khadya Khurak, the food and hospitality industry exhibition and publishing initiative.
Dr. Bharat Kanabar, a prominent Amreli medical professional and veteran public figure, also attended, along with representatives and members of Navnat, Vanik and other leading Amreli community associations.
The diversity of the audience reinforced one of the program’s central messages: AI is no longer a subject only for software engineers. Students will encounter it in education and careers. Entrepreneurs will use it to rethink work and customer service. Professionals will need to understand its capabilities and limitations. Community leaders will increasingly need to consider its impact on skills, employment and social change.
Bhuta encouraged participants to follow a practical progression: learn AI, experiment with it, apply it responsibly, understand where human judgment remains essential and then share useful knowledge with others.
The timing has made the Amreli program an example of how community organizations can complement India’s wider AI-skilling ambitions. National goals can create direction and scale; local programs can help translate that direction into awareness, confidence and practical capability among people who may otherwise remain outside formal technology ecosystems.
Global Kapol Vikas sees this model as an opportunity to encourage wider AI literacy among students, educators, entrepreneurs, professionals and community organizations.
