Union Minister of Education and Skill Development and Entrepreneurship, Dharmendra Pradhan has launched AI for India 2.0, a free online training programme on AI. The programme is a joint initiative of Skill India and GUVI, which is an IIT Madras and IIM Ahmedabad-incubated edtech startup.
GUVI focuses on providing personalized learning. It offers online learning, upskilling & recruitment opportunities. It teaches tech-skills in different regional languages.
The course introduced by GUVI aims at educating individuals and rural youth in cutting-edge technologies like Artificial Intelligence. The program's collaboration between Skill India and GUVI, brings expertise from leading educational institutions and industry players.
During the launch event, Pradhan advocated for technology courses to be offered in more Indian languages, stressing that technology should not be confined to a specific language. He regarded this program as a step towards dismantling the language barrier in technology education and future-proofing the country's youth, especially those in rural areas.
By making the program available online and free of cost, the govt plans to broaden the reach of the course. The quality and relevance of the course will be taken care with the help of the accreditations from NCVET and IIT Madras.
