The Haryana government has rolled out a landmark initiative for 2026: the AI Skill Grant, designed to equip students in Kaithal and across the state with future-ready IT skills — at zero cost. This grant covers training in artificial intelligence, digital marketing, web development, and more. And White Banger, a NASSCOM-certified IT training institute in Kaithal, is proud to be an approved partner under this scheme.
What Is the Haryana AI Skill Grant 2026?
The AI Skill Grant is a state-funded program aimed at bridging the digital divide in Haryana. It provides full financial support for students who want to pursue certified IT courses but may not have the means. The focus is on emerging technologies like AI, automation, and digital marketing — exactly the areas where White Banger excels.
Under this grant, selected students in Kaithal can enroll in courses such as:
