A new NSDC-AWS partnership is training 1.6 lakh youth in AI and cloud skills; 1.5 lakh via free digital content, 10,000 via job-ready AWS re/Start program. No relocation. No prior experience. Just a phone or laptop. This isn’t just skilling; it’s rewiring opportunity. Because 16% of the world’s AI talent is already Indian, and by 2027, we’ll hit 1.25 million professionals. But here’s the twist: most of that talent isn’t in Bangalore or Hyderabad; it’s waiting in UP, Bihar, MP. NSDC is finally bringing the future to them. If you’re a rural youth with internet access, this might be your ticket to a global tech job; without leaving home. Skilling isn’t charity. It’s strategy. And India’s playing for keeps.
