AI tutors, courses in polytechnics: Karnataka's budget 2026
India
Karnataka's new budget puts artificial intelligence front and center: think AI tutors for over 1.2 million students, new courses in polytechnics, and major investments in labs and robotics zones.
The state is also rolling out AI-powered help for farmers, paperless systems for government work, and smart attendance using facial recognition.
What's the big idea?
This push means more opportunities to learn about AI (and maybe even land a cool job), especially if you're from a smaller town or just starting out.
It's also about making Bengaluru an even bigger tech hub, already ranked fifth globally for AI, and helping rural areas get future-ready.
Basically, Karnataka wants to make sure no one gets left behind as tech changes the world.
