People will now be able to get information like employment, employment training, information about educational centers, or qualifications required for training on Live WhatsApp. The Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship (MSDE) of the Government of India has taken this new initiative in collaboration with Meta.
MSDE has announced the launch of its AI-powered digital skilling tool 'Skill India Assistant' (SIA). This is the first initiative of its kind on such a large scale in the world. According to the ministry, millions of Indians across the country will be able to access it. Through SIA, accessible on WhatsApp number 8448684032 and available on the Skill India Digital Hub, people will be able to get information about skilling courses, nearby training centers, and job opportunities according to their needs.
According to the Center, this initiative, implemented by Sarvam AI in partnership with Meta and NSDC, aims to fill the digital gap. This facility will completely change the way Indians connect with the benefits of skill development opportunities.
On the occasion of the launch, Skill Development and Entrepreneurship Minister Jayant Chaudhary said, "Skill India Assistant will completely change the way our citizens get support in learning and jobs. By using the power of AI on a user-friendly platform like WhatsApp, we will make skill guidance very easy for millions of Indians. With this, people in remote areas will also be able to get personalized guidance according to their needs. This is not only a technological achievement, but also a powerful effort to bring opportunities and learning within the reach of every person. "
Available in Hinglish in addition to English and Hindi languages
Currently, Skill India Assistant is available in Hinglish in addition to English and Hindi. In the coming time, it will be expanded to many other regional languages. Due to being launched on WhatsApp, it will be accessible to more and more people, especially people from rural and deprived communities will be able to easily take advantage of it. Keeping in mind the feedback received from the users, further updates will be made so that the assistant can be improved according to the needs of the learner and the progress of AI.
