New Delhi [India], May 27 (ANI): Union Minister of State for Commerce and Industry and Electronics and Information Technology, Jitin Prasada, on Tuesday urged for making the future of Artificial Intelligence (AI) synonymous with the future of aspirational India. Speaking at the ‘Padh AI: Conclave on AI in Education’ organized by the Centre for Policy Research and Governance (CPRG), he emphasized the government’s vision for AI to be inclusive and accessible to all.
Jitin Prasada said, “Our government’s intent is very clear: AI is for all. It cuts across government and society. We must ensure India leads not just in talent, but in conscience and compassion, producing AI that is inclusive and self-reliant.” He highlighted Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s resolve of ‘AI for all,’ stressing the aim to democratize technology beyond the elite and make GPUs (graphics processing units) necessary for AI development available in India at affordable prices to foster innovation.
Prasada also commended CPRG for its leadership and global engagement, noting its participation in the Paris AI Action Summit 2025 and the 2024 GPAI Summit in Serbia.
The inaugural session was also attended by Ashish Sood, Delhi’s Minister of Education, who reaffirmed Delhi’s vision that “AI is for all,” describing it as a tool to democratize education, break barriers, and create opportunities for students. He emphasized that AI should support, not replace, human intervention in classrooms to ensure inclusive learning.
The first day of the Padh AI Conclave featured two sessions, including “Learning Beyond Classrooms,” where experts like Madan Mohan Tripathi, Director General of NIELIT; Charu Malhotra, Co-Founder of Primus Partners; and Jagadish Babu, COO of EkStep Foundation, discussed AI’s role in enabling personalized and adaptive learning, experimental education models, and inclusive digital access. The discussions stressed the importance of governance and safe learning environments.
The conclave served as a platform for meaningful dialogue on innovative AI-driven educational solutions aimed at fostering an adaptive, inclusive, and future-ready education system. (ANI)
