The module is part of India’s broader vision to foster innovation and promote inclusivity in learning. Jayant Chaudhary, Union Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Skill Development and Entrepreneurship, said, “Today we stand at the intersection of innovation and opportunity, where AI has the potential to realize the dreams of tomorrow’s entrepreneurs.

The initiative will help young minds understand AI in a simple and practical way while inspiring them to explore business opportunities using emerging technologies.
