The Skilling for AI Readiness (SOAR) program targets students from class 6 to class 12 and educators to prepare India for a digital future.
SOAR provides modules for students and educators focusing on ethical AI use and basic machine learning concepts.
The Union Budget 2025-26 allocated ₹500 crore to establish a Centre of Excellence in Artificial Intelligence for education.
SOAR aligns with the Skill India Mission and Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana (PMKVY) 4.0 to enhance digital skills, AI literacy, and employability.
