The committee reviewed detailed presentations on integrating AI into both school and higher education. In school education, focus areas included curriculum reforms such as age-appropriate computational thinking, AI literacy from foundational stages, project-based learning, and the formal introduction of AI as a skill subject at the secondary level. Key national digital tools showcased included DIKSHA 2.0, e-Jaadui Pitara, Guru-Mitra, the TARA app, My Career Advisor, and Vidya Samiksha Kendra, all aimed at personalised learning, teacher support, and real-time assessment.
In higher education, discussions centred on AI-enabled curriculum updates in centrally funded institutions, integration of skill-based and interdisciplinary courses, and strengthening infrastructure for advanced learning and research. These interventions aim to build future-ready graduates, foster innovation within higher education institutions, and ensure global competitiveness and inclusivity.
