In a major step toward making Artificial Intelligence (AI) education more accessible and interdisciplinary, the Ministry of Education, Government of India, has launched seven free AI courses on its digital learning platform SWAYAM.
The initiative aims to empower learners from diverse fields — including science, commerce, education, and sports — with foundational and applied AI skills.
A New Era of Free AI Learning
The newly introduced courses are designed to bring AI and Machine Learning (ML) knowledge to students, educators, and professionals alike. Each course combines theoretical concepts with hands-on exercises, real-world datasets, and interactive sessions to ensure practical learning outcomes.
