What this means for students and schools
NCERT’s live series gives students a straightforward, no-cost way to learn what AI is and how it’s used in schools and everyday life. Each day covers a specific, easy-to-follow topic taught by experienced teachers. Schools and students can watch live or later via recordings.
Those who complete the extra DIKSHA course and pass the assessment can earn an official NCERT/DIKSHA certificate, which may help document learning for school records or future study. The series also stresses safe and fair use of AI, helping learners understand risks like data privacy and biased outputs.
Practical implications and reach
The series supports NEP 2020 goals by building digital literacy and preparedness among students. Broadcasting on multiple channels (YouTube, DTH, Jio TV) increases access for learners with limited internet, helping wider participation.
The certification path encourages continued learning beyond the live sessions.
