Starting July 2026, Haryana has taken a bold step toward future-proofing its youth by introducing Artificial Intelligence modules into the Class 6 Information Technology curriculum. This landmark decision, announced by the Haryana Board of School Education, integrates foundational AI concepts—such as machine learning basics, ethical AI use, and hands-on projects—into the existing IT syllabus. For students in Kaithal and across the state, this means early exposure to one of the most transformative technologies of our time, setting the stage for lucrative careers in IT, data science, and automation.
What the New AI Curriculum Includes
The revamped Class 6 IT syllabus now dedicates 30% of its content to AI and emerging technologies. Students will learn about:
- Understanding AI: What AI is, its history, and real-world applications in healthcare, agriculture, and entertainment.
- Machine Learning Basics: Simple algorithms, pattern recognition, and how computers learn from data.
- AI Ethics: Bias, privacy, and responsible use of AI tools.
- Hands-on Projects: Building a basic chatbot using block-based coding, training an image classifier, and creating simple AI-driven games.
This curriculum is designed to be age-appropriate, using visual tools like Scratch AI extensions and Google's Teachable Machine. Schools in Kaithal have already started training their teachers through workshops conducted by the Haryana State Council for Educational Research and Training (SCERT).
Why This Matters for Kaithal Students
Kaithal, a growing educational hub in Haryana, is home to several schools and IT training institutes. The introduction of AI in Class 6 is a game-changer because it builds a strong foundation early. Instead of waiting until college to encounter AI concepts, students in Kaithal will now be familiar with the terminology and basic applications by the time they reach high school. This early exposure can spark interest in STEM careers, especially in AI and software development—fields where India faces a talent shortage.
According to a NASSCOM report, India needs over 1 million AI-skilled professionals by 2028. Haryana's initiative directly addresses this gap by starting at the grassroots level. For students in smaller cities like Kaithal, this is an opportunity to compete with peers from metro cities who have had access to AI resources for years.
Bridging the Gap: From School Curriculum to Real-World Skills
While the Class 6 curriculum introduces AI concepts, it doesn't provide advanced training in tools and technologies that employers demand. That's where institutes like White Banger step in. Located in Kaithal, White Banger is a NASSCOM-certified IT training institute that offers over 65 courses in AI, automation, digital marketing, and software development. Their programs are designed to take students from foundational knowledge to job-ready expertise.
For example, a student who learns basic machine learning in Class 6 can later enroll in White Banger's AI & Automation course, which covers ChatGPT, prompt engineering, and advanced AI tools. Similarly, those interested in building AI-powered applications can join the Software Development with AI program, which teaches Python and web app development integrated with AI APIs.
“Haryana's focus on AI education is commendable. At White Banger, we see students coming in with curiosity about AI, and our job is to turn that curiosity into career skills. Our NASSCOM-certified courses are aligned with industry needs, so students in Kaithal don't have to move to bigger cities to build a successful IT career.” — White Banger Training Team
