research, and access to AI-enabled learning.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\nA key component of the project is the grant-supported research collaboration with IIT-Madras.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This study will investigate the effects of AI on cognition, learning outcomes, and teaching methods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Teachers who use ChatGPT for lesson planning, assignments, and student engagement will get six months of free premium access.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Students will have access to advanced features like interactive tests and Study Mode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
OpenAI underlined that rather than enlarging India’s digital divide, the initiatives seek to close it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Leah Belsky, OpenAI\u2019s vice-president (education), said, \u201cChatGPT runs on basic smartphones, supports 11 Indian languages and voice interaction, and is being proposed for government schools and low-cost, government-funded technical institutions.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With millions of students relying on ChatGPT for homework, test preparation, and idea exploration, India currently has the largest student population using the app worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Belsky clarified that in addition to providing teachers with new engagement resources, the accelerator is designed to make sure AI enhances learning rather than serving as a shortcut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The accelerator will advance in a number of areas, including product deployment, training, access, and research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
IIT-Madras will lead the research, and the results will be made public to impact product design and pedagogy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Ministry of Education, AICTE, and ARISE (Alliance for Re-Imagining School Education) will distribute free ChatGPT licenses in order to increase access.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Training programs are being developed to increase teachers’ and students’ confidence and literacy in AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Study Mode, developed using feedback from Indian learners, will be deployed widely to guide students with step-by-step problem solving and structured responses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Raghav Gupta, OpenAI\u2019s head of education for India and Asia Pacific, said, \u201cBy working with universities, schools, government bodies and educators, we have an opportunity to truly transform education through AI, driving better learning outcomes while supporting India\u2019s ambitions to be a global leader in AI-enabled education.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
These announcements continue OpenAI\u2019s recent expansion in India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
OpenAI\u2019s Expansion in India<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nThis expansion has included opening a Delhi office, launching ChatGPT Go at \u20b9399 per month with UPI payments, expanding the OpenAI Academy literacy programme with MeitY, and enhancing Indic language capabilities in GPT-5.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
OpenAI is positioning India as a testbed for global rollouts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
