AI Samarth

In October 2024, Central Square Foundation in collaboration with Google launched the ‘AI Samarth’ initiative to promote AI literacy for over five million students, parents, and teachers across India.

The initiative aims to bridge the digital divide by reaching children from low-income households, ensuring that AI education reaches underserved communities, particularly in government and low-fee private schools.
AI Samarth is set to achieve its target of five million participants in the next four years, addressing the rising need for AI awareness and encouraging its responsible use in education.
CSF, with 12 years of experience in school education, sees AI as a critical tool in tackling educational challenges, such as personalized learning and addressing gaps in children’s grade-level knowledge.
Despite successful AI integration in companies and industries, extending it to grassroots levels remains challenging; hence, AI Samarth will focus on tools like personalized tutors and teacher aids to ensure safe and effective AI engagement.
