By MYBRANDBOOK
Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan has announced three Artificial Intelligence Centres of Excellence (CoEs) focused on healthcare, agriculture and sustainable cities. The CoEs will be led by top educational institutions, in consortium with industry partners and start-ups.
"The three CoEs in AI-healthcare, agriculture and sustainable cities', will democratise AI innovations and research to revolutionise healthcare delivery, strengthen food security and address critical urban challenges. These CoEs led by our top academic institutions will strengthen India's AI capabilities and power the growth of India's AI ecosystem," Pradhan said.
"The CoEs in AI will emerge as temples of global public good. The talent and zeal that Bharat is blessed with, in the times ahead, these CoEs will be a key element of global public policy and also emerge as solution-providers of the world.
"I am confident that the CoEs will give further impetus to the startup ecosystem in our country, help create a new generation of job and establish new paradigms of global public good," he added.
The CoE in healthcare will be led by IIT Delhi and AIIMS, while the CoE in agriculture will be led by IIT Ropar. The sustainable cities CoE will be led by IIT Kanpur.
The new centres will conduct interdisciplinary research, develop advanced applications and create scalable solutions in these three areas.
Aligned with the vision of 'Make AI in India and Make AI work for India,' the establishment of these centers was announced under Para 60 of the 2023-24 Budget.
The government provided a financial outlay of Rs 990 crore over the period of FY 2023-24 to FY 2027-28 for the creation of the three AI Centres of Excellence.
To oversee the implementation of the initiative, an industry heavy Apex Committee has been constituted, co-chaired by Sridhar Vembu, Founder and CEO of Zoho Corporation.
