IT Ministry along with Google to 'Build for Digital India'

On Saturday, the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) entered into a collaboration with Google to launch "Build for Digital India," a programme that will provide learners in engineering with a platform for market-ready development technology-based solutions that address key social problems. The programme will invite ideas from students to focus on areas of healthcare, agriculture, education, smart cities and infrastructure, women safety, smart mobility and transportation, environment, accessibility and disability and digital literacy. As part of the programme, engineering students across the country will be invited to apply and join in a learning journey that will help them transform their bright ideas into real-world solutions. Applicants will take part in online and offline learning opportunities on key technologies such as Machine Learning, Cloud and Android. These will be offered through Google's Developer Student Club network and other Google Developer networks.
