Why India's education system must prioritise AI literacy

NITI Aayog's 2025 report found that over 60% of Indian schools use AI-powered learning tools.

The Coursera Global Skills Report 2025 reported a 107% year-on-year increase in generative AI course enrollments in India, reaching 2.6 million, the highest globally.

The Ministry of Education has integrated AI into school curricula through CBSE and NCERT starting from grade 9, as part of the NEP 2020 vision.

The National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 calls for including coding and computational thinking in the curriculum, paving the way for AI literacy.
