Maharashtra Launches India's First AI-Powered Anganwadi Centre, Tracks Children's Progress
Last Updated: Since July, children at the anganwadi have been using VR headsets from Meta, AI-enabled interactive smart boards, tablets, and other digital content. The Maharashtra government has inaugurated India's first AI-powered anganwadi in Waddhamna village, Nagpur district, Maharashtra, located approximately 18 km from the city. The number of students aged 2-6 years attending this anganwadi has increased from 10 to over 25. Since July, children at the anganwadi have been using VR headsets from Meta, AI-enabled interactive smart boards, tablets, and other digital content to learn poems, songs, and foundational concepts, moving beyond traditional chalks and slates. This initiative, part of the Nagpur Zilla Parishad's Mission Bal Bharari, aims to provide rural children with the same digital access as their urban counterparts. Launched by Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on July 27, the project cost approximately Rs 9.5 lakh from the Zilla Parishad's CESS fund. Out of the district's 2,202 anganwadis, the one led by Saroj Kukde in Waddhamna was selected as the pilot model due to its accessibility and proximity to other training centres. The anganwadi was equipped with Wi-Fi-enabled CCTV cameras accessible to key stakeholders. Despite initial challenges in finding a tech partner, the Zilla Parishad collaborated with Qolaba, working under the Centre's IndiaAI programme. The anganwadi was recently refurbished to meet technological requirements and attract more children. Anganwadi workers were trained in smart learning methods, ensuring children from remote areas could learn in a modern, engaging environment. Qolaba structured the training program into a three-month module. Kukde now uses 10 VR sets and the interactive smart board for an hour daily to teach students, who spend five hours at the anganwadi six days a week. The syllabus has been carefully integrated with the AI system to meet the children's needs. The children now draw on the interactive smart board, learn about animals via VR sets, and save their artwork digitally. Kukde feels proud to be part of this transformative experience, learning new things daily. Mayank Mukul from Qolaba explains that the AI system tracks each child's progress using gamified learning tools, adjusting difficulty levels based on response times, ensuring individual progress. Anganwadi workers receive structured training sessions thrice a week, coordinated with their schedules to build confidence. In the next training phase, workers will learn generative AI tools to create new content like text, images, and music. While Kukde is currently the sole AI-trained worker, weekend sessions have begun for other centres, including visits to the pilot anganwadi for hands-on learning with Qolaba's assistance. Training is conducted in person for better understanding. Plans are underway to expand the project to 40 more anganwadis, closely track physical and cognitive developments, and use AI tools to evaluate nutrition. The mission aims to bridge the digital divide for rural children. view comments First Published: August 05, 2025, 13:26 IST News education-career Maharashtra Launches India's First AI-Powered Anganwadi Centre, Tracks Children's Progress Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Why Sony's PlayStation 6 could be a 'problem' for Nintendo's Switch console
's rumored PlayStation 6 strategy could pose a significant challenge to Nintendo's dominance in portable gaming , with leaked details revealing plans for both a powerhouse console and a premium handheld device launching together between fall 2027 and early 2028. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The dual-pronged approach would mark Sony's aggressive return to the handheld market while delivering triple the performance of the original PS5 at the same $499 price point. The leaked specifications from YouTuber Moore's Law is Dead suggest Sony is targeting Nintendo's core strength - portable gaming - with a standalone handheld that far exceeds current Switch capabilities. Unlike the streaming-dependent PlayStation Portal, this new device would feature local rendering, M.2 SSD storage, microSD expansion, haptic feedback, dual microphones, and USB-C connectivity with potential video output support. Sony's handheld companion device could outpower Nintendo Switch 2 significantly The PlayStation 6 handheld is positioned to compete directly with premium portable devices like the Steam Deck and Asus ROG Ally X, potentially offering superior performance to Nintendo's rumored Switch successor. With a projected $400-500 price range, Sony appears willing to challenge Nintendo's typically lower-cost approach with a high-end alternative that could appeal to core gamers seeking console-quality experiences on the go. The main PS6 console would complement this strategy by offering triple the rasterization performance of the base PS5 and double that of the PS5 Pro, while maintaining backward compatibility with PS4 and PS5 libraries. This combination could create a seamless gaming ecosystem spanning home and portable play. Manufacturing timeline suggests direct competition with Switch 2 Production for both PlayStation 6 devices is reportedly scheduled for mid-2027, with this timeline potentially setting up a direct market confrontation with Nintendo's next-generation Switch launch. However, since the leak originates from a 2023 AMD presentation shared by YouTuber Moore's Law is Dead, Sony's actual plans may have evolved. The company has not officially confirmed any PlayStation 6 details or handheld development.

Sony PlayStation 6 may offer major performance boost over PS5, Pro consoles
Sony is reportedly working on its next-generation gaming console, the PlayStation 6. Reportedly, the launch of PlayStation 6 is still a few years away, however, alleged specifications of the next generation of Sony-owned gaming console have surfaced on the web. A YouTube channel named 'Moore's Law Is Dead,' somehow came across AMD documents from 2023, which revealed key specifications of PS6. Going by the video posted on its channel, the PS6 is expected to deliver 4K resolution at 120 frames per second with ray tracing cranked up. Additionally, the price point of the upcoming console is also expected to be lower than the PS5 Pro. Apart from the PS6 console, another device is reportedly in the making, which is likely going to be a handheld gaming device. PS6: What to expect According to the YouTuber, Sony is reportedly aiming for a price tag lower than the anticipated $700 of the PS5 Pro. To achieve this, the company is reportedly taking a more restrained approach in terms of hardware, focusing on energy efficiency and affordability without compromising too much on performance. Moore's Law Is Dead compared this to Sony's strategy with the PlayStation 4. According to a report by Beebom, the YouTuber said: 'Anyone remember the PlayStation 4? It was a console that made the choice to not go all out in specs so that it could have mass market appeal after the previous generation left some people feeling burned with how expensive it was at its launch. I'll just say it, from what I've seen behind the scenes so far, it at least appears Sony is planning to do this sort of a strategy again with the PlayStation 6.' Here are the expected specifications of the PS6. Notably, Sony has not yet confirmed any news regarding the specifications, and the YouTuber himself has said that it is possible that some of these specifications might have been changed since 2023. Hence, it is advised to take this information with a grain of salt: 8x Zen 6 (or later) cores 160W TBP 40-48+ RDNA 5 Compute Units @ 3GHz+ 160-bit or 192-bit bus with GDDR7 at 32GT/z 3x Greater Rasterisation Performance of the PS5 (Better Ray Tracing Expected) Chiplet design, possibly using 'Navi 5' Desktop chiplets Backwards compatible with PS5 and PS4 Apart from the hardware developments, Sony is also said to be working on including artificial intelligence (AI) features, which might help in delivering consistent performance for users. PS Handheld: What to expect The PS Handheld might not be a 'powerhouse' in terms of performance however, based on the expected specifications, it might reportedly outperform ASUS ROG Ally X. According to Beebom, here are the expected specifications of PS Handheld: 4x Zen 6c cores 15W TBP 12-20 RDNA 5 Compute Units @ 1.6-2GHz 128-bit bus with LPDDR5X-7500+ Half the Rasterisation Performance of the PS5 Backwards compatible with PS5 and PS4 MicroSD Slot and M.2 SSD Slot Haptic feedback Dual microphones Touchscreen USB-C Port As per Engadget, PS6 handheld could have a price range between $400 and $500.
