New Delhi: Union Minister of Education and Skill Development & Entrepreneurship Dharmendra Pradhan on Saturday launched AI for India 2.0, a free online training programme on Artificial Intelligence, on the occasion of World Youth Skills’ Day.

A joint initiative of Skill India and GUVI, the National Council for Vocational Education and Training (NCVET) and IIT Madras accredited online programme will equip youth with frontier skills.

The programme has been curated in nine Indian languages.

Pradhan said that technology should not be a prisoner of language and called for technology courses in more Indian languages.

“This is a good beginning towards dismantling language barrier in technology education and future-proofing our Yuva Shakti, particularly those in rural areas,” the Union minister added.

He expressed satisfaction that GUVI has taken the initiative to educate the bottom-of-the-pyramid population in cutting-edge technologies.

GUVI, an IIT Madras incubated startup, is a tech platform that enables tech learning in vernacular languages.
