The Ministry of Information and Broadcasting has launched three initiatives to promote India’s Orange Economy (creative economy).
The initiatives are the National AI Skilling Initiative, the MyWAVES platform, and the Advanced EPG (Electronic Programme Guide) with in-built satellite tuners in TVs.
National AI Skilling Initiative aims to train 15,000 professionals in the AVGC (Animation, Visual Effects, Gaming and Comics) sector with support from Google and YouTube.
MyWAVES platform promotes user-generated content (UGC) and supports Indian creators in multiple languages.
Advanced EPG allows access to DD Free Dish without a set-top box, improving digital access in remote areas.
Orange Economy refers to sectors based on creativity, culture, and intellectual property, like media, films, gaming, and design.
