The Youth for Growth and Development with AI program will run throughout the year to provide more students with an opportunity to learn about technology and develop solutions to real-world issues.
ministry of electronics and information technology Has urged the students of classes 8 to 12 to join the national program- ‘Yuva-Youth for Unnati and Vikas with AI’.
Jointly launched by the IT Ministry, National e-Governance Division (NeGD) and Intel India, the program focuses on promoting better understanding of Artificial Intelligence among school students with the relevant mindset and skill set.
Earlier the ministry, NeGD and the tech giant had collaborated on another national program – ‘Responsible AI for Youth’ focusing on government school students – to make the future generation AI-ready. Shweta Khurana, Senior Director – APJ, Government Partnerships & Initiatives, Global Government Affairs at Intel 50,000 students From 2020 onwards.
However, with the newly launched Youth, which will run throughout the year, government and private partners hope to empower students to become human-centred designers and users of AI.
The program is expected to provide students with a practical learning experience that allows them to understand and identify how AI technology can be used to solve critical challenges and drive inclusive growth of the country.
ai idea
It is believed that through YuvaYa, students will be able to understand technology and related social skills, develop indigenous AI solutions to solve real world issues and become responsible users of AI.
Students will be exposed to a variety of social topics and industries through YUVAi, from which they can choose to present their unique AI social impact solutions. These include agriculture, health care, education, environment and clean energy, transportation, rural development, law and justice, as well as smart cities.
The participants need to focus on how the agriculture sector can be managed with AI and production can be improved. For health, they have to focus on introducing AI solutions for medical research, patient care and diagnosis and healthcare system automation.
In the context of education, students will be required to present solutions for learning in the digital age, education management, assessment and learner-centred areas.
Those interested in AI for the environment need to develop solutions to protect and conserve nature. They should also be able to present an idea on how to adopt renewable energy sources.
For transportation, participants must develop and present an AI solution on how to reduce the growing stress on transportation systems, logistics infrastructure, prevent accidents, and manage traffic.
Employment generation, providing social security benefits and poverty alleviation should all be the focus of the students who are presenting a solution for rural development.
In the case of law and justice, participants will deliver AI solutions to promote accountability, transparency and accessibility of the system.
Lastly, for smart cities, students should offer AI-based concepts to foster sustainable and inclusive communities that provide clean and sustainable environments along with a reasonable quality of life through the use of smart solutions .
three step program
- Interested students can register themselves for the program at yuvai.negd.in/home. Once enrolled, all students will be introduced to the fundamentals of AI. They will also receive an e-certificate for participation.
After the orientation session, all students will be allowed to present innovative AI solutions in a 120-second video based on a specific topic. Once the idea is submitted, they will receive a certificate of appreciation which will take them to the next stage of the programme. - In the second phase, the top 100 ideas will be shortlisted for an online Deep Dive AI Workshop, conducted by Intel AI for young trainers and experts. After completing the training, the students will get to work on their real time AI project for social impact.
Once they submit the projects for further consideration, an achievement e-certificate will be issued which will take them to the final stage. - The top 50 selected AI projects will be invited to participate in a four-day face-to-face rapid modeling workshop in the third phase, during which the top 10 projects will be shortlisted. Thereafter the selected students will get a chance to showcase their projects on a national platform
