The Ministry of Education is working with Amazon Web Services (AWS), intending to impart cloud computing and machine learning (ML) skills to higher education students in India. A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed between the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE), a statutory body under the Ministry, and Amazon Internet Services Private Limited (AISPL), which undertakes the resale and marketing of AWS in India. This new collaboration extends the Ministry’s efforts to enable students with critical technology skills and strengthen the focus on building a future-ready digitally-skilled workforce in India. Thousands of AICTE-affiliated colleges in the country will extend this initiative to benefit students.
Dr Buddha Chandrashekhar, Chief Coordinating Officer, AICTE, said, “Digital skilling on future technologies at a national scale is a key priority for the Ministry of Education. Skilling our students in cloud computing and machine learning is especially crucial to not only ensure employability for our students but also to build capacity in these critical skills that will define the industries of tomorrow,”
Through the MoU, AWS will provide students access to AWS Educate, a program that offers self-paced online cloud learning resources and labs.
