Varanasi's PM Shri Rajkiya Queens Inter College to Launch State's First AI & Robotics Lab
A school in Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh, is going to open a special lab for Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Robotics.
This is the first such lab in the state.
A former student of the school, who is now a professor, helped make this happen.
The lab will cost about Rs 50 lakh to build.
Students will learn to build robots, work on AI, make drones, and even learn about electric vehicles and repairing mobiles and laptops.
The lab will start working early next year.
At first, only students from this school will use it, but later, students from 31 other government schools in the area will also get to use it.
A student who has already worked on a robot project is very excited about the new lab because it will have more advanced tools and technologies.
Varanasi's PM Shri Rajkiya Queens Inter College is set to launch Uttar Pradesh's first AI and Robotics Lab.
The lab, costing Rs 50 lakh, aims to provide practical exposure to AI, robotics, and other emerging technologies.
The initiative is led by Prof. Dharmendra Singh, Director of IIIT Vadodara, and aligns with Uttar Pradesh CM Yogi Adityanath's vision to strengthen technological education.
The lab will offer project-based learning, hands-on experimentation, and training by certified experts, benefiting students from 31 government schools in Banaras.
Operations are expected to begin in early 2026, with an MoU with IIIT Vadodara in the pipeline.
