With an aim to foster ‘Skill India’ mission, Google offers 1,30,000 scholarships for developers and students

New Delhi, November 24: With an aim to boost ‘Skill India’ mission, Google has now joined hands with Pluralsight and Udacity for a new scholarship program that will help 130K developers and students from India to gain the necessary skills needed to be successful in the constantly changing technology landscape.

Aiming to build a highly skilled tech workforce in India, Google partners with Pluralsight and Udacity to provide training in emerging technologies like Mobile and Web Development, Machine Learning, AR/VR, AI, and Cloud Platforms.

In July, Google announced that it would train around 2 million developers in India to foster innovation and support the growth of India’s startup ecosystem.

The tech giant unveiled the initiative on November 23, 2017, in New Delhi, announcing that will train 1.3 lakh developers and students in emerging technologies like Mobile and Web Development, Machine Learning, AR/VR, Artificial Intelligence, and Cloud Platforms.

Google has always invested in helping the developer and Startup community so that they get easy access to all the latest technology. Other than professional developers and Startups, the company has also given efforts to help the student community in India.

For Udacity, Google will also provide 1000 full nano degree scholarships from the 30,000 scholarships being offered. Interested candidates will also get access to Pluralsight's unique adaptive assessment engine, which will help them match their unique learning path based on their skill level and interest.

"Our goal is to create a pool of highly skilled tech workforce that is readily employable by the Industry and help spur innovation," stated Google in a blog post.
