Tamil Nadu just became the first Indian state to officially embed Artificial Intelligence, coding, and digital simulations into the public school curriculum — and this could redefine how India prepares its next generation.

Starting in 2025, every student from Class 6 to 9 in Tamil Nadu will learn to code in Python, build AI models, and run real-world experiments using tools like Scratch, Blockly, GeoGebra, and PhET simulations — all during regular school hours. This isn’t a pilot programme, nor a summer bootcamp. It’s policy. It’s the new normal.

In this video, we break down what Tamil Nadu is doing, how it plans to scale digital literacy from the ground up, and why this initiative could put the state years ahead in workforce readiness and tech-led economic growth. From Microsoft’s TEALS programme and Oracle’s skilling partnerships to Google’s AI Labs and the state-backed “Naan Mudhalvan” platform — all the groundwork laid is now becoming part of the education system itself.

With a bold vision to become a $1 trillion economy by 2031, Tamil Nadu is betting big on tech fluency — and it’s starting in the classroom. We’ll unpack why this move matters not just for the state, but for the entire country, and what it signals about India’s educational and digital future.

No other Indian state has done this — not Karnataka, not Maharashtra, not Delhi.

So the real question is: what’s stopping the rest?

Join us as we explore how Tamil Nadu is setting the pace in tech-first education — and why this moment could be a turning point for India’s digital economy. Don’t forget to like, share, and subscribe to AIM TV for more deep dives into AI, policy, and the future of innovation.
