Significance
Rather than learning through a training session, people get a better insight by learning through hands-on experiences. Today AI applications are highly expensive. Rural communities are unaware of the world’s technologies and their exploding developments. GoI aims to include remote and rural residents in its technological development path and also in its leadership of the 2023 G20 meeting.
