India to establish AI-enabled university
The Indian government, along with Chaudhary Charan Singh University and Google, is planning to set up a special university that focuses on artificial intelligence (AI).
This university will help students learn about AI and how to use it in different jobs.
Google will also train many teachers from Kendriya Vidyalaya schools to teach AI in a responsible way.
The goal is to make sure that India has skilled people who can use AI to solve problems and create new opportunities.
The plan was announced at a big event called the AI Impact Summit 2026, where important people from the government and Google talked about how AI can change education and jobs.
The Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship, Chaudhary Charan Singh University, and Google have announced a collaboration to establish an AI-enabled university in India.
The modalities for setting up the proposed AI university are yet to be finalised by the three partners.
Google India will roll out a nationwide programme to train 40,000 Kendriya Vidyalaya teachers on the responsible use of AI.
An MoU has been signed between Google, MSDE, and CCS University to support capacity building and AI-focused education initiatives.
The announcement was made at the AI Impact Summit 2026, with participation from key figures in government and Google.
