IBM has recently unveiled its collaboration with the National Programme on Technology increased Learning (NPTEL), an Indian eLearning platform, to educate the young masses about ‘Blockchain design style and Use Cases’, a 12-week online course. The course is being funded by the Education Ministry of India.

As per sources, Praveen Jayachandran, Blockchain and sensible Contracts Scientist at the IBM Republic of India, and Sandip Chakraborty, a scholastic from IIT Guwahati, are said to deliver lectures on the course. Although anyone from anywhere can join the online course, only a few selected cities in India will witness offline delivery of the course as well.

Commenting on this initiative, Jayachandran has stated that the blockchain mania has been continuously spreading from cryptocurrencies to other fields like insurance, finance, supply chain, healthcare, and many more. He added that the collaboration with educational organizations in India to deliver blockchain training reflects IBM’s commitment towards promoting the technology and educating young minds about its potentials.
