NEWS CHARIOT:-In a major push towards making Telangana a global technology hub, State IT and Industries Minister Duddilla Sridhar Babu announced the government’s ambitious plan to train two lakh Artificial Intelligence (AI) engineers. The initiative aims to equip the state’s youth with future-ready skills and meet the growing demand for AI talent.
