Minister of Education, Govt. of India, Shri. Dharmendra Pradhan inaugurated the AI Innovation & Incubation Centre, a first-of-its-kind initiative that integrates Artificial Intelligence (AI), Cloud Computing, and Applied Research into School Education, at DPS RK Puram, New Delhi. Entirely developed in collaboration with VVDN Technologies, a global provider of Software, Product Engineering, Electronics Manufacturing Services and Solutions, and Google Cloud, this landmark initiative represents a transformative leap in how students will learn and create – where technology becomes a bridge to curiosity, creativity, and responsible innovation.
The AI Innovation & Incubation Centre is set up to bridge the gap between education and industry. By integrating the latest cutting edge AI solutions from Google Cloud into the curriculum, students are empowered to gain real-world exposure and hands-on experience with AI. These technologies include Google Cloud’s unified AI platforms like Vertex AI and Gemini Enterprise, and students will have access to professional skilling programs such as Google Cloud Skills Boost. VVDN will further provide students with practical learning experiences in emerging technologies such as humanoid and companion robotics (AIBO, Unitree G1), AR/VR Glasses, IoT kits, and Raspberry Pi systems.
The Centre also features a structured four-level AI curriculum for students from Class 6 onwards, progressing from foundational AI concepts to advanced Machine Learning and Generative AI applications. Through hands-on projects in domains such as Computer Vision, Natural Language Understanding, and Generative Design, the centre aims to transform classrooms into dynamic innovation spaces. The AI Centre establishes a future-ready and inclusive learning ecosystem where ideas are encouraged, ethics are integral, and learning is experiential.
Additionally, the Centre will also serve as a shared innovation resource for neighbouring and government schools, extending access to AI tools, mentorship, and facilities to promote inclusive growth. Regular workshops, hackathons, and innovation challenges will further nurture creativity, inspire collaboration, and encourage students to design solutions that promote social impact and sustainability. Another key pillar of the initiative will be faculty enablement. Educators are being trained in AI Fundamentals, Cloud Education, and Ethical AI to ensure effective mentorship and guidance.
For the creation of the AI Innovation & Incubation Centre, VVDN Technologies contributed its expertise in AI hardware, product engineering, and robotics, while Google Cloud serves as the digital backbone that enables advanced AI-driven learning and research.
