Dharmendra Pradhan, Union Minister of Education, Skill Development, and Entrepreneurship, provided information on the programme Skill India and GUVI created jointly.

There are nine languages—including Hindi, Telugu, Kannada, and more—in which this Python training is available. According to GUVI, it intends to educate the younger generation on AI and ML (machine learning) for a “better tech career” in the future. This includes college students, recent graduates, and early-career professionals. 

Pradhan advocated that technology should not be a prisoner of language and asked for additional tech courses in Indian speech, seeing this as a positive first step in reducing the language barrier. He continued by saying that this will aid in “future-proofing the Yuva Shakti,” particularly those in rural areas. The minister noted that India is a success story in digital payments and claimed that its citizens are technologically adept.
