NetApp, Agastya Launch Rural Data & AI Lab to Boost Digital Skills in India

NetApp has partnered with the Agastya International Foundation to launch a Rural Data and AI Lab in India. The initiative aims to improve digital and technology skills among students in rural and underserved areas.

The lab will introduce students to basic data concepts, AI fundamentals, and digital problem-solving through hands-on learning. The focus is on practical exposure rather than theory, helping students understand how technology is used in real life.

This collaboration brings together NetApp’s industry expertise and Agastya’s strong reach in rural education. The program also includes teacher training, ensuring that learning continues even beyond the lab setup.

The launch supports India’s vision of digital inclusion and future-ready education, helping young learners prepare for a technology-driven future.
