Punjab has become the first state in India to introduce Artificial Intelligence (AI) as a mainstream subject for students from Class 1 to Class 12. The initiative aims to equip children with future-ready skills, including AI fundamentals, coding, machine learning, robotics, and ethical use of technology through age-appropriate lessons. The curriculum will gradually expand across government and private schools, supported by teacher training and digital learning resources. The state government said the move is designed to prepare students for an AI-driven economy, enhance digital literacy, and strengthen India's future workforce in emerging technologies.
