AICTE and GUVI
IIT Madras incubated startup GUVI joined hands with All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) to upskill 10 lakh Indians in coding through a one day free workshop.

The workshop titled ‘AI-For-India 1.0’ is expected to set a world record for being the largest coding workshop conducted online.

Targeted towards students, IT professionals, and anyone in the age group of 8 to 80 years interested in coding, the event is scheduled to be conducted on 24th April 2021.

Registrations have already begun and can be done on the GUVI’s AI-for-India website: ‘https://www.guvi.in/AI-for-India?utm_source=online&utm_medium=articles&utm_campaign=aiforindia’

This initiative, being taken up in memory of IIT Madras incubated GUVI’s Co-founder Ms. Sridevi Arun Prakash, is part of the startup’s mission to provide training in Artificial Intelligence to One billion Indians and make India – the leader in the Artificial Intelligence field.

He said Ministry of Education and AICTE want to give the best education and skills to all Indian students, as well as faculty and institutes.

We have come up with an initiative along with GUVI that got selected for NEAT (National Education Alliance for Technology) to upskill 10 lakh students in Artificial Intelligence.

The collaboration of IIT Madras incubated GUVI and AICTE will surely set a world record.

In this workshop, participants can learn to build a face recognition app using Python from industry experts.

This online coding workshop is expected to draw the participation of people from various backgrounds.

All the participants will gain free access to IIT Madras incubated GUVI’s Python course that helps them understand the concepts of the Python programming language.

Further, world record event participation certificates and unlimited access to ‘CodeKata,’ a Coding skill-building platform, will be offered to all the participants.

Kumar Vembu Founder and CEO of GoFrugal Technologies also spoke about the initiative of IIT Madras incubated startup and AICTE.

He said automation freed us from lots of manual labor.

The AI revolution will free us from data-driven and rule-based decisions.

‘I congratulate GUVI on its effort to expose so many people to Artificial Intelligence and its potential.’

Once these people get started with AI, I am sure a significant percentage of them will invest more time and effort to become an expert.

This initiative will not only help create a large talent pool for the industry but could also result in creating AI entrepreneurs. I wish IIT Madras incubated GUVI and all the participants a huge success, he said.

Mr. Arun Prakash, founder and Chief Operating Officer, GUVI said through every age, the world experiences different revolutions.

Currently, we are at the brink of the coding or AI revolution.

You do not need to be a developer but you need to understand what is happening.

You need to be well-informed on what your data means to you and what it means to others so you can make informed decisions without depending on the opinion of others, he said.

This grand online event, Ai-for-India 1.0 is just the beginning step of a Progressive Coding Revolution, which will be held on 24 April.

IIT Madras incubated GUVI invites every Indian to join hands in making this online event a Great Success by registering to AI-For-India 1.0 that sets the world record with the maximum number of participants.
