India PM Modi woos youth with free coaching, AI training
Speaking weeks after massive youth-led protests forced the education minister to resign, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi said the initiative was aimed at easing the financial burden on millions of families.
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has announced a range of initiatives to support the country's youth, following massive youth-led protests that forced the education minister to resign. The government will provide free online coaching for competitive exams and train one crore (10 million) young people in AI skills over the next year.
These measures aim to ease the financial burden on poor and middle-class families, who often bear the cost of expensive coaching classes. Modi made the announcements during his Independence Day speech at the Red Fort in New Delhi, where he also outlined a seven-point growth and reform framework for India to become a developed nation in the next 20 years.
