Union Minister for Railways, Information and Broadcasting & Electronics and Information Technology interacted with over 3,000 students who took part in the YuvAI hackathon at the AI Impact Summit, Bharat Mandapam, New Delhi. Students from across India shared domain-based, vernacular AI solutions, showing strong grassroots innovation and youth participation in emerging technologies.
During the interaction, Hon’ble Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw highlighted that Artificial Intelligence is a powerful tool that can be used by everyone to solve day-to-day challenges and create solutions suited to individual and community needs.
The Minister also shared that the Summit has attracted strong global interest, with commitments of approximately $17 billion in venture capital (VC) funding and up to $200 billion in infrastructure investments. He noted that this reflects the high level of interest the world has in India’s AI ecosystem.
He further underlined that this momentum has been enabled by the visionary framework laid down by Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji, positioning India as a global leader in emerging technologies. Hosting the world’s largest AI summit in India, he said, demonstrates the country’s growing stature at the forefront of the global AI movement.
