Govt. inks pact with NVIDIA on establishment of AI University in Andhra Pradesh. As part of the agreement, 10,000 engineering students across the State will be upskilled in the next two years.
The Government of Andhra Pradesh has forged a partnership with NVIDIA to take forward establishment of the proposed Artificial Intelligence (AI) University in the State and foster a robust AI ecosystem through skilling, research, infrastructure development, and startup acceleration.
As part of the agreement, the two parties will work together to skill 10,000 engineering students across Andhra Pradesh over the next two years. NVIDIA will also provide curriculum guidance and technical training resources to support AI education and capacity-building in engineering colleges.
In addition to workforce development, the MoU also focuses on enhancing research and development capabilities. NVIDIA will support the identification and establishment of AI research centres that will address pressing technological challenges and develop transformative solutions across sectors. Both parties will encourage joint research initiatives that contribute to the growth of AI knowledge and applications.
IT Minister Nara Lokesh said by equipping 10,000 students with cutting-edge AI skills and supporting the startup ecosystem, the State was laying the foundation for a future-ready economy driven by innovation, research, and entrepreneurship.
The collaboration will further extend to the development of cutting-edge computational infrastructure required for the proposed AI University. NVIDIA will assist in identifying the necessary tools, software platforms, and hardware capabilities to ensure the university is equipped to deliver world-class education and research outcomes.
Managing Director, Asia South, NVIDIA, Vishal Dhupar, said, “Together, we aim to create a model that can inspire similar efforts across the country.”
Another key aspect of the MoU is sharing of experience and best practices in establishing next-generation AI Factories. NVIDIA will provide insights from its global expertise in operationalising AI Factories that serve as hubs for innovation, industry collaboration, and talent incubation aimed at democratisation of AI.
