India to launch three AI centres of excellence focused on healthcare, agriculture, and sustainable cities
Indian Union Minister for Education Shri Dharmendra Pradhan is set to announce the establishment of three AI Centres of Excellence (CoE) focussing on healthcare, agriculture, and sustainable cities. This initiative is part of India's vision for "Viksit Bharat" (Developed India) and aims to foster a robust AI ecosystem in key sectors. This is reported by ANI, a partner of TV BRICS.
According to the Indian Ministry of Education, the CoEs will be spearheaded by leading academic institutions, working in consortium with industry partners and startups. The CoEs will mostly undertake interdisciplinary research, develop cutting-edge applications, and create scalable AI solutions to address challenges in these three vital areas.
These AI centres aim to promote innovation and develop quality human resources in sectors critical for India's growth, accelerating progress towards a technologically advanced future.
