Lucknow,

14 May (HS): With the aim of building a strong Digital India and connecting

youth with future technologies, the Uttar Pradesh Skill Development Mission,

under the direction of Kapil Dev Agarwal, Minister of State (Independent

Charge) for Vocational Education, Skill Development and Entrepreneurship, is

effectively implementing the 'AI for All' initiative across the state. Under this

initiative, free online Artificial Intelligence (AI) training is being provided

to citizens of the state.

It

is noteworthy that this ambitious program was launched by Chief Minister Yogi

Adityanath during a mega employment fair held in Muzaffarnagar on April 13,

2026. This program, run by the Uttar Pradesh Skill Development Mission in

collaboration with the global IT organization Oracle University, is proving

particularly useful for youth, students, candidates preparing for competitive

examinations, and ordinary citizens.

Minister

Kapil Dev Agarwal said that artificial intelligence is rapidly transforming

employment and industry today. The state government's goal is to empower more

youth to become self-reliant by acquiring knowledge of this modern technology

and access new employment opportunities. He directed that this scheme be widely

promoted in all districts, so that more youth from villages, towns, and urban

areas can participate in this free training.

The

program includes a course titled AI for You: Training and

Assessment, lasting approximately 3 hours and conducted entirely online.

Upon completing the training, candidates are assessed online, and successful

participants are awarded authentic certificates that will aid their career

development.

Mission

Director Pulkit Khare said that Uttar Pradesh Skill Development Mission is

committed to taking this initiative to the masses and all the District

Programme Management Units have been directed to ensure maximum registration. Interested

candidates can register for free through a simple process by visiting the

official website of Uttar Pradesh Skill Development Mission through the 'AI for

All' tab and get training at home.
