Delhi University Partners with Google Cloud to Put AI, Cloud Talent on Campus

As part of initiatives to revamp Indian higher education, the University of Delhi (DU) has initiated a multi-year strategic partnership with Google Cloud India. The partnership will prepare thousands of students with skills in artificial intelligence (AI), cloud computing, cybersecurity, data analytics, and digital literacy.

Under the initiative, DU will implement Google Cloud's cutting-edge training content into the curriculum. The course will consist of in-lab workouts, skill certifications, and access to Google Cloud's AI learning assistant NotebookLM, which will allow students to save time-consuming work by building answers on their own research and class notes.

The partnership is our part of future-proofing DU as a university," said university officials. "We are not only launching our students into careers, but also into spearheading the digital economy."

What DU Students Can Look Forward To:

High-in-demand technology specialty courses

NotebookLM, Google's AI study assistant, at no cost

Google Cloud certifications in GenAI, data science, and security

Hackathons, webinars, and mentorship on campus

Incubation support and cloud credits for student-startups

Faculty upskilling and digital upskilling programs

Implementation of end-to-end Google Workspace for Education at the department level

Google Cloud India Managing Director Sashi Sreedharan quoted the program's potential to bridge the skill gap: "Technology is a powerful equalizer. It's important that India's youth have skills which are not just in demand today, but future-proofed."

Google Cloud will collaborate with DU to code-design learning pathways and grant access to a vast array of technical tools to prepare students for problem-solving and innovation in the global world.

The partnership is aimed at igniting entrepreneurial passion, career preparedness, and pedagogy revolution on DU's inclusive campuses, a monumental step towards a digitally enabled academic future.
