Ministry of Education, AICTE and AWS to Upskill Students in India in Cloud Computing and Machine Learning
By India Education Diary Bureau Admin |
New Delhi : The Ministry of Education is working with Amazon Web
Services (AWS) with an aim 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 to build 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. We are
pleased that an industry leader like AWS is committed to work with AICTE
to support the Indian government’s vision for skilling to create an
Atmanirbhar Bharat.”
Sunil PP, Lead—Education, Space, and Nonprofits, Amazon Internet
Services Private Limited, AWS India and South Asia, said, “Over the
course of the pandemic, we have seen organizations of all sizes
accelerate their digital transformation plans by several years, driving
an increased need for employers and their workers to advance skills
training for cloud computing, cybersecurity, and machine learning. AWS
recognizes this as a national priority, and today’s announcement of the
MoU with the Ministry of Education is part of our continued commitment
to support the government in developing India’s technology talent and
strengthening the country’s digital economy.”
Through the MoU, AWS will provide students access to AWS Educate
(www.awseducate.com), a program that offers self-paced online cloud
learning resources and labs, designed to help people learn, practice,
and evaluate cloud skills. The program’s easy-to-navigate and adaptive
user experience guides learners to targeted training content based on
their knowledge, goals and interests. Learners can register on AWS
Educate with just an email address.
In addition, AWS will support the goal of skilling students in cloud
computing and ML through the AWS DeepRacer Student League, launched
today. The AWS DeepRacer Student League is aimed at introducing ML to
students in higher education, and inspiring them to explore the
technology. The competition provides participants an interesting and fun
way to learn ML, and experiment with it by building autonomous driving
applications. This is the second AWS DeepRacer initiative focused on
students in India after the AWS DeepRacer Women’s League in 2021, and is
being held with support from the Ministry of Education, AICTE, and
Intel. The competition is open to students above 18 years who are
currently enrolled in higher educational institutions in India.
Earlier this year, the research report “Building Digital Skills for
the Changing Workforce” – prepared by strategy and economics consulting
firm AlphaBeta, and commissioned by AWS – noted that four of the top six
most in-demand skills in India by 2025 will be cloud-related. The
report found that the ability to use cloud-based tools will be the most
in-demand skill required by employers in India by 2025, followed by
technical support skills, cybersecurity skills, advanced digital
marketing, artificial intelligence (AI) and ML, and cloud architecture
design. The importance and impact of the cloud-related skills are
further underscored by their wide use across industry sectors, as
employers surveyed in the research expect these skills to be in high
demand in sectors such as healthcare, agriculture, fintech, media, and
entertainment.
