Delhi Launches Citywide 'AI Grind' to Train 500,000 Learners

The rollout prioritizes mentor certification plus pilot‑ready student projects over the next four months.

Overview

  • The initiative was unveiled at Central Park in Connaught Place with a large public event, a community festival, and the flag‑off of an Innovation Bus on Wheels to reach neighborhoods.
  • Plans for the first phase include certifying 5,000 teachers, producing 1,000 student‑led prototypes, selecting 50 AI Youth Ambassadors, and publishing a National Innovation Compendium.
  • A ten‑station pathway—covering awareness, onboarding, district rounds, a city showcase, pilot deployment, and youth leadership—aims to move student ideas toward real‑world use.
  • Participation is open to ages 10–25 addressing civic problems across sectors such as health, transport, education, climate, water and waste, governance, and public services.
  • Officials cast Delhi as a national testbed for AI‑driven education aligned with India’s AI decade and the Viksit Bharat 2047 vision.
