Union Minister of Education and Skill Development and Entrepreneurship Dharmendra Pradhan launched AI for India 2.0, a free online training programme on Artificial Intelligence on Saturday.

A joint initiative of Skill India and GUVI, a startup incubated by IIT Madras, the online programme will equip youth with frontier skills. The online programme has been accredited by NCVET and IIT Madras.

GUVI is a platform that enables tech learning in vernacular languages. This program has been curated in 9 Indian languages.

Speaking on the occasion, Pradhan said that this is a good beginning towards dismantling language barriers in technology education and future-proofing our Yuva Shakti, particularly those in rural areas.

The minister said India is a technology-savvy country and the success story in adoption of digital payments in the country is a case in point. He expressed satisfaction that GUVI has taken this initiative to educate the bottom of the pyramid population in cutting-edge technologies.
