The curriculum will include the latest technologies from top notch companies like Microsoft, Adobe, SAP Labs, Wipro and Nasscom among others.This will help the country find alternatives to overcome the challenges of a shared connected zero-emission world, improving learning outcomes, diseases like tuberculosis, cancer and more.“This module is path breaking. It combines playing and academics, and our job is to make things very interesting.
