AI in Rural India to drive local entrepreneurship not Just Skill Development

ChaGPT Chacha – Gemini Mami

Ask any question for which you could not get answer from Chacha or Mami.

These AI under intellect Purple Fabric initiative we have introduced in Sonbhadra, Most backward District in UP for school during Ullas Tinkerfest.

We have introduced AI to participants of Tinkerfest from class 7th to 10th standard from underprivileged tribal communities. Anil Pradhan, CEO Young Tinker Academy ask the question – you can ask any question from the Mike in Hindi and most difficult question from ChaGPT Chacha or Gemini Mami and it will answer your question.

They felt thrilled and started asking difficult questions.

Now the ladies sitting in the audience also understood the power of AI. They mentioned can they write applications and emails. Then they tried writing applications to District magistrate or collector etc. Obviously now Women has a voice and an ‘Smart executive assistant’ to solve their rural problems. They knew their problems but did not know how to express them.

Next SHG women in the group started asking the question that they make Millets products or soap or Snacks. How can AI help them to market the product in near market – Reningutta or Varanasi. They also ask ChatGPT Chacha and Gemini Mami to suggest names of the products.

Next They also got the logo designed from Chacha at free of cost.

Now we will be starting Startup Seed fund of 10,000/- per team who wants to start Startup for 10 teams today.

It’s model of Rural School Incubator, SHG business design and Community Voice.
