Ropar, June 30

The Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Ropar, has joined hands with the Punjab Skill Development Mission (PSDM) to impart classes on artificial intelligence (AI) and data science through a certificate course.

Faculty members of the department of electrical engineering, Rohit Sharma and Satyam Agarwal, have been awarded the project by the PSDM for one year.

Owing to the lockdown, schools and higher education institutions faced challenges in moving their operating model to online overnight, as most of them followed a classroom-led delivery model. This resulted in an overarching dropout rate among students in Punjab and India as a whole.

The course is designed to cater to the demand and need of data scientists and AI workforce in near future. — TNS

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
