India targets 10M youth for AI training

India’s prime minister announced a plan to train one crore—10 million—young people in AI skills over the next year. The official Independence Day announcement places the program alongside new semiconductor and energy targets, including 5–8 additional semiconductor plants over the next seven to eight years.
