The partnership aims to equip students across the seven northeastern states with next-generation skills in Artificial Intelligence and Entrepreneurship, bridging the gap between classroom learning and real-world application.Under this collaboration, students from Assam, Arunachal Pradesh, Meghalaya, Nagaland, Manipur, Mizoram, and Tripura will have access to IvySchool.ai’s globally recognized AI certificate programs, developed in collaboration with leading global institutions such as Harvard University, Stanford, MIT, and Wharton.The initiative focuses on helping students translate academic knowledge into practical innovation and employable skills. Through a mix of self-paced and live courses, learners will be introduced to hands-on training modules covering AI applications, data analytics, innovation, and entrepreneurship development. Across much of Northeast India, limited access to modern institutions, laboratories, and digital resources continues to restrict students to theoretical learning. The absence of major industries or startups deprives them of real-world experience and exposure to innovation. A shortage of skilled trainers in emerging fields such as AI, data science, and entrepreneurship further widens the gap. Cu
