IIT Madras Pravartak launches free skill courses for Class 7 to 12 students
The Story in Brief
IIT Madras Pravartak, in collaboration with BodhBridge Education, has launched free online live training programmes in AI, EV technology, entrepreneurship, and design thinking for school students in classes 7 to 12. Registrations are open for the November 2026 to January 2027 cycle on the portal bodhbridge.iitmpravartak.org.in.
The courses, taught by experts from IIT Madras alumni, the start-up ecosystem, and industry, combine live sessions, case studies, and hands-on activities. More than 45,000 teachers have already benefited from these free training programmes, according to IIT Madras Pravartak. An optional certification from the institute is available. Separate programmes for educators cover career counselling, leadership, and classroom management.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Both sources report the same factual launch of IIT Madras Pravartak's free online skill courses for Class 7 to 12 students and educators, with near-identical details on topics, eligibility, registration period, and the 45,000-teacher benefit figure. The Indian Express version is slightly tighter, attributing all claims to the institute, while Times Now adds a direct quote from a Pravartak manager and a brief author bio. The coverage is uniform straight reporting: neither outlet imposes a political or ideological slant on this education initiative.
