In an effort to provide high-quality education to remote areas of India, tech giant Google said on Monday that it has partnered with the National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT).

In the upcoming months, NCERT will establish a number of YouTube channels that correspond with the curriculum for grades 1–12 as part of the cooperation.


The channels will empower teachers, parents, and students nationwide by providing educational information in interesting and easily accessible formats in 29 Indian languages, including Indian Sign Language.

"The core of YouTube has always been education. Additionally, YouTube can assist in making educational content more accessible in India through creative collaborations, tools, and resources. 

In addition, Google also announced a collaboration with the National Programme on Technology Enhanced Learning to roll out Credentialled Courses.

NPTEL now offers 50 credentialed courses on a diverse range of subjects, from pure sciences and literature to sports psychology and rocket propulsion.

“Through this initiative, a pathway has been created for anyone outside the IIT system to be able to do a course on NPTEL’s YouTube channels and then complete the online certification on the NPTEL-SWAYAM portal and get a certificate from the IITs,” Katzman said. He added more courses will be rolled out in the coming months.

The Google-owned YouTube first rolled out courses in India in 2022 to help creators offer a structured learning experience. In 2024, the company focused on empowering even more creators to develop and share courses, enabling them to reach wider audiences and increase their impact on learners.
