The NIELIT Digital University (NDU) platform was launched by Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw to promote accessible and high-quality digital education across India, especially in emerging technologies such as Artificial Intelligence, Cybersecurity, Data Science, and Semiconductors. Alongside this launch, five new NIELIT centres were inaugurated in Muzaffarpur, Balasore, Tirupati, Lunglei, and Daman. These centres aim to bridge the digital divide, strengthen regional skill development, and ensure that advanced technical education reaches students and professionals in underserved areas, aligning with India’s broader vision for a digitally empowered society and knowledge-based economy.
