NEW DELHI, JAN 14, 2026: COMMEMORATING National Youth Day on January 12, 2026, the Government of India reaffirmed its commitment to youth empowerment by spotlighting the newly launched National AI Literacy Program and its flagship YUVA AI FOR ALL course, bridging Swami Vivekananda's vision of enlightened youth with the tools for an AI-driven future. The program was launched at the Rajasthan Regional AI Impact Summit held in Jaipur on January 6, 2026, by Bhajan Lal Sharma, Chief Minister, Rajasthan; Ashwini Vaishnaw, Minister for Electronics & IT, Railways and Information & Broadcasting; and Jitin Prasada, Minister of State for Electronics & IT and Commerce & Industry. The National AI Literacy Program aligns with the Government's vision of a Viksit Bharat, the expansion of Digital Public Infrastructure, and India's commitment to inclusive, responsible, and democratic adoption of AI.

As a part of this Program, the YUVA AI FOR ALL foundational course was highlighted, to make AI literacy a core life skill, aligned with National Youth Day's focus on Yuva Shakti. With the course running time, clocked at a little over 4 hours, YUVA AI FOR ALL has been designed as an inclusive entry point to AI learning, requiring no prior technical background. The curriculum covered includes 'What is Artificial Intelligence, The Technology behind Artificial Intelligence, Using Artificial Intelligence to Learn, Create, think and plan, Artificial Intelligence Ethics and The Future of Artificial Intelligence'.

Speaking on creation of a nationwide movement of collective AI learning, Vaishnaw had stated “It is important that citizens, particularly the youth, whom we honour on National Youth Day, have a basic understanding of what AI is, how it works, where it is used, and also be able to use it responsibly in their lives. Particularly, small scale enterprises will reap the benefits of AI, if they are able to use AI in daily work and increase their productivity. With this objective, the National AI Literacy Program has been launched and it is envisaged that this program will mobilize 10 Lakh learners in the next one year."

To be made available in 11 languages (Assamese, Bengali, Gujarati, Hindi, Kannada, Malayalam, Marathi, Odia, Punjabi, Tamil and Telugu), the YUVA AI FOR ALL course is free of any charge and available on leading learning platforms such as FutureSkills Prime, iGOTKarmayogi, DIKSHA and other popular ed-tech portals. On completion of the course, every learner will get an official certificate from the Government of India.

The YUVA AI for All National AI Literacy Program is a significant step towards democratising access to AI knowledge and preparing India's citizens especially the youth for opportunities and responsibilities of an AI-driven future. Envisioned not merely as a one-day learning milestone, but as the foundation of a sustained, scalable, and inclusive AI literacy movement, YUVA AI for All will contribute meaningfully to India's vision of a Viksit Bharat through coordinated action across Ministries, States, educational institutions, industry, and digital platforms-empowering citizens, nurturing responsible innovation, and strengthening India's leadership in AI for public good.
