Future Ready: Tech firms upskilling rural youth in niche domains

For technology companies, skilling less-privileged youth and rural and semi-urban women in future tech domains such as AI, IoT, Big Data, coding and programming and helping them get relevant job placements, is high on the priority list. Samsung India has started its CSR programme ‘Samsung Innovation Campus’ at eight campuses across the country with the aim to upskill 3,000 less-privileged youth in AI, IoT, Big Data and coding and programming; ESSCI, which is a National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC) approved entity, is executing the programme through its nationwide network of approved training and education partners.
