The 'YUVAi- Youth for Unnati and Vikas with AI’ initiative will be featured at the Global Partnership on Artificial Intelligence (GPAI) Summit.

It is a collaborative initiative by the National e-Governance Division (NeGD), Ministry of Electronics & Information Technology (MeitY) and Intel India.
This initiative focuses on equipping youth with essential AI skills for a future-ready workforce.
It is designed to deepen understanding of AI among school students (class 8 to 12) nationwide, empowering them to become human-centric designers and users of AI.

The program progresses in three phases, aiming to guide students toward responsibly using AI to address real-world challenges.
It introduces students to several social themes to direct their AI knowledge towards solving real-world problems.
In the first cohort, over 8,500 students registered, attending online orientation sessions to learn fundamental AI concepts.
Teachers also enrolled and underwent orientation sessions.
Students then submitted innovative AI-based ideas under one of the eight core themes of the programme, with the top 200 shortlisted.
Shortlisted students received deep dive AI training and mentorship with Intel AI coaches in Phase 2.
Students then submitted their AI projects to be evaluated for Phase 3.
In Phase 3, the top 50 students attended a face-to-face rapid modeling workshop, receiving mentorship from industry experts.
The Top 10 finalists will represent YUVAi at the GPAI Summit, showcasing their AI-based social impact projects.
