Improving Skills for Teachers and Technicians

In Rajasthan, 55-year-old technician and instructor Prafulla Rawat used SIDH’s employability and entrepreneurship courses to enhance his teaching. However, he urged the platform to expand its offerings in Indian languages, especially Hindi. Similarly, 54-year-old Delhi teacher Sanjiv Nigam enrolled in the Google Cloud Generative AI course.
