IndiaAI Fellowship

IndiaAI Fellowship under the IndiaAI Mission

In 2024, under the FutureSkills pillar of the IndiaAI Mission, fellowships were extended to students from top engineering institutions across India, with a focus on those pursuing artificial intelligence (AI) projects. This initiative aimed to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application, ensuring a workforce adept in essential AI skills.

The first round of the IndiaAI Fellowship saw groundbreaking project submissions from students, highlighting AI's transformative potential in addressing real-world issues. Participants delved into applications across various fields including Agriculture, AI Ethics, Education, Finance, Fundamental Research, Language Translation, Manufacturing, Medical advancements, Computer Vision, Human Safety, and other emerging AI areas.

As of the end of December, the first tranche of fellowships has been awarded to 130 B.Tech and 40 M.Tech students, with the remaining applications still under review.

The nominated projects in the first round addressed critical societal, industrial, and environmental challenges through diverse AI applications. Notable project titles include ‘Enhancing Biometric Accuracy by Preventing False Positives with High-Resolution Images,’ ‘Enhancing Vehicle Safety on Non-Favorable Roads: An AI-Driven Driver Assistance System with Dash Cameras,’ ‘Smart Firefighting System Using Computer Vision,’ and ‘Monocular 3D Pedestrian Detection Using Transformers.’
