About the programme

Women should not be left behind by the technology reshaping their lives.

Artificial intelligence now sits inside education, jobs, banking, governance and business. Yashoda AI 2.0 puts that technology in women's hands — and teaches them how to stay safe while using it.

Every session is a free, full-day training. Participants don't just hear about AI — they open the tools on their own phones, try them, and learn to spot the frauds built on the same technology: OTP and UPI scams, phishing, deepfake videos, voice-cloning calls.

Every woman leaves with a printed toolkit, a helpline card and the knowledge of exactly where to report a cybercrime. Beneficiaries are identified with local administration, self-help group federations, colleges and community organisations, so the programme reaches women who are genuinely underserved.

What a session covers

Eight modules, in order — from “what is AI?” to leading with it.

The day is built as a sequence. Each module assumes what came before it, so a participant who starts with no background finishes able to use the tools and protect herself.

01

AI Literacy

What artificial intelligence actually is, how it already shapes everyday life, which tools matter, and how to tell the myths from the realities.

02

AI in Daily Life — Live Demos

Hands-on with ChatGPT and Gemini, plus Bhashini and Sarvam for Indian languages. Translation, smart search and AI assistants, tried on the participant's own phone.

03

Cyber Safety & Digital Security

Online frauds, OTP and UPI scams, identity theft, social media safety, password habits, and protecting personal and financial data.

04

Deepfake & Voice-Clone Awareness

How deepfakes and cloned-voice calls are made, how the scams work, how to verify what you are seeing and hearing, and what to do if you are targeted.

05

Digital Rights & Legal Awareness

Women's digital rights, cybercrime reporting systems, grievance-redressal mechanisms and the emergency helplines that matter.

06

AI for Education & Careers

Emerging AI careers, digital skill pathways, learning platforms and certifications, and what career readiness looks like in an AI economy.

07

AI for Entrepreneurship

Using AI for business growth — digital marketing, content creation, customer engagement and everyday productivity for a small enterprise.

08

Women's Leadership in the Digital Era

Confidence, technology adoption, community leadership and advocacy — turning one trained woman into a source of awareness for many.
