The Delhi government has invited proposals from qualified agencies to set up Artificial Intelligence (AI) labs in selected schools across the city. The initiative, announced by the Directorate of Education (DoE), is designed to promote technological innovation and equip students with practical knowledge of AI concepts.
The official notification outlines the primary objectives of these labs, which include fostering advanced learning in AI and providing students with hands-on experience in technologies like machine learning, data analysis, coding, and robotics. Each lab will be a dedicated learning space featuring state-of-the-art hardware and software to support practical exploration and skill development.
Interested agencies have been requested to present their proposals, detailing the infrastructure, features, functionalities, training modules, and implementation strategies of their AI Lab setups. Demonstrations are a crucial part of the selection process, allowing the Directorate to evaluate the operational feasibility and potential impact of these labs on students.
“Qualified agencies are invited to submit their proposals along with a demonstration showcasing their AI Lab setup and capabilities,” the Directorate of Education stated in its notification.
The deadline for submitting proposals and demonstrations to the office of the Joint Director (IT), Directorate of Education, GNCID, is seven days from the notice’s publication. The evaluation process will prioritize comprehensive demonstrations that clearly outline the approach to establishing and managing these AI Labs in schools.
This move aligns with the Delhi government’s broader efforts to integrate cutting-edge technology into the education system and prepare students for future opportunities in AI-driven industries. By equipping schools with such facilities, the government aims to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application, fostering a generation of innovators and tech-savvy professionals.
The introduction of AI Labs in schools marks a significant step toward modernising the education landscape, offering students the tools and exposure necessary to thrive in a technology-driven world.
