Recently, the President of India graced a special programme organised under the Skilling for AI Readiness (SOAR) initiative, highlighting the government’s focus on preparing India’s youth for an artificial intelligence–driven future.
About the SOAR Programme
The Skilling for AI Readiness (SOAR) Programme is an initiative of the Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship (MSDE). The programme aims to integrate artificial intelligence education into India’s school education and training ecosystem, ensuring that both students and teachers are equipped with essential AI-related skills.
The broader vision of SOAR is to position India as a global leader in artificial intelligence by preparing its young population for AI-driven careers and entrepreneurial opportunities.
Target Groups
The programme targets:
School students from Classes 6 to 12 across India
Educators and teachers, who play a crucial role in AI education delivery
Course Structure and Curriculum
Under SOAR, structured learning modules have been designed:
Students: Three targeted modules of 15 hours each
Teachers: One comprehensive 45-hour training module
These courses introduce foundational concepts of artificial intelligence and machine learning, along with data literacy and the ethical and responsible use of technology.
Funding and Institutional Support
The government has allocated ₹500 crore for the establishment of a Centre of Excellence in Artificial Intelligence for Education.
The Centre will:
Develop AI-based learning tools
Promote multilingual AI resources in Indian languages
Encourage innovative classroom practices using AI
Strengthen AI curriculum development across technical institutions
Integration with Existing AI Ecosystem
The SOAR programme complements ongoing efforts by IITs and AICTE-approved institutions, which already offer advanced courses in machine learning, deep learning, and data analytics. This ensures a continuum of AI education from school to higher technical institutions.
Significance
The SOAR Programme represents a strategic step toward building AI-ready human capital, reducing the digital skills gap, and ensuring inclusive participation in India’s digital and innovation-driven economy.
