Details
Looking to explore the exciting world of Artificial Intelligence (AI)? The Uttarakhand State Council for Science and Technology (UCOST) has a special initiative just for school students.
This scheme, implemented by UCOST under the Uttarakhand Government's Science and Technology department, is all about making AI accessible and understandable for young minds. It focuses on building awareness, fostering understanding, and providing hands-on experience with AI technologies.
The primary beneficiaries are students from Classes 9 to 12 who are currently studying in schools located in Uttarakhand, whether government or private.
In today's rapidly advancing world, AI is a key technology. This initiative by UCOST, in partnership with Intel, aims to equip the next generation with essential AI skills. Through AI coding camps and practical experiments at a dedicated AI Skills Lab, students get a valuable head start in understanding and engaging with cutting-edge technology.
Objective
Benefits
Under the scheme, farmers receive an 80% subsidy on the cost of a solar pump set from the Government of India and the State Government, while the remaining 20% of the cost is borne by the farmer.
The scheme allows individual farmers to convert their diesel pump sets into solar pump sets of up to 7.5 HP capacity, which helps reduce expenditure on diesel and lowers production costs, thereby increasing farmers’ income.
