India launches a nationwide AI skilling programme for the creative sector, backed by the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, the Indian Institute of Creative Technologies (IICT), Google, and YouTube, with 15,000 scholarships on offer.

The curriculum unfolds in two phases: a foundation online phase followed by a hybrid specialisation phase that emphasizes practical, project-based learning in storytelling, creative production, and the use of advanced AI tools.

The initiative aims to close a growing skill gap by giving participants hands-on experience to prepare a workforce capable of adapting to evolving industry demands.
