This move is part of the government\u2019s broader vision to align technical education with industry trends and prepare students for the digital economy.<\/p>\n<p>A government spokesperson informed that <strong>Government Polytechnic College, Hamirpur (Baduhi)<\/strong> \u2014 one of the oldest and most prestigious technical institutions in Himachal Pradesh \u2014 has commenced this innovative diploma programme. Following its successful introduction at <strong>Government Polytechnic College, Rohru<\/strong>, the joint diploma course was launched in Hamirpur in the previous academic session with an intake capacity of <strong>51 seats<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The integrated diploma course offers immense potential for young learners aspiring to build careers in cutting-edge technological domains. It not only equips students with a strong foundation in computer science but also provides hands-on exposure to <strong>AI and IoT<\/strong>, two of the most rapidly evolving and high-demand fields worldwide.<\/p>\n<p>Students, including <strong>Artha<\/strong>, <strong>Srishti Chauhan<\/strong>, and <strong>Aryan Chopra<\/strong>, expressed their enthusiasm for the initiative. They said that starting the diploma course in Hamirpur has made it more convenient for local youth to access modern, in-demand technical education without having to migrate elsewhere. \u201cAI and IoT are the future \u2014 this course is a great opportunity to learn technologies that drive innovation and create jobs,\u201d said the students.<\/p>\n<p>In a significant step toward fostering innovation, the government has also announced the creation of a <strong>dedicated innovation fund of Rs. 2 crore<\/strong> to support young innovators in turning their ideas into viable solutions. This initiative aims to strengthen the innovation ecosystem and encourage entrepreneurship among students.<\/p>\n<p>Further expanding opportunities, the government has introduced new degree and diploma programmes in <strong>Artificial Intelligence, Data Science, and Machine Learning<\/strong> across several institutions. <strong>Rajiv Gandhi Government College, Nagrota Bagwan<\/strong>, will now offer degree courses in AI and Data Science, while new technical programmes have been approved at other institutions, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Civil Engineering Degree<\/strong> at <strong>Atal Bihari Vajpayee Institute of Engineering and Technology, Pragatinagar, Shimla<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Diploma in Computer Science and Engineering (AI &amp; Machine Learning)<\/strong> at <strong>Government Polytechnic Sundernagar, Mandi<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The required teaching staff for these new courses will be appointed soon to ensure smooth and effective implementation.<\/p>\n<p>Officials highlighted that these educational reforms mark a shift from traditional, theory-based learning to <strong>technology-integrated, industry-linked training<\/strong>. The initiative is part of the government\u2019s broader reform agenda, <strong>\u2018Vayastha Parivartan\u2019<\/strong>, aimed at modernizing curricula, strengthening institutional capacity, and improving employability and entrepreneurship among youth.<\/p>\n<p>With these strategic steps, Himachal Pradesh is positioning itself at the forefront of <strong>technology-driven education<\/strong>, ensuring that its young generation is well-prepared to thrive in the rapidly evolving global digital landscape.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Himachal Government Opens New Avenues for Youth with AI &amp;
