New Delhi, Aug 27: Around 7.8 million students and teachers across seven Indian states are set to receive free access to Adobe’s creative software under a new initiative aimed at strengthening digital learning and creative skills.
The programme is designed to make professional digital tools more accessible to students and educators, particularly within the education system, and help them develop practical skills in areas such as graphic design, video creation, digital storytelling and multimedia.
For students, access to Adobe’s software could provide an opportunity to gain hands-on experience with tools widely used in creative and professional industries. The initiative may also encourage students to explore new forms of digital expression and develop skills that can support future academic and career opportunities.
Teachers will also be able to use the software to create digital learning materials, presentations, visual content and other resources for classroom use. This could help make lessons more interactive while supporting technology-based teaching methods.
The initiative comes as schools and educational institutions increasingly incorporate digital tools into teaching and learning. Providing access to established creative software can help bridge the gap between students who have access to such technology and those who may otherwise be unable to afford it.
With an estimated 7.8 million beneficiaries, the programme represents a significant expansion of access to digital creativity tools across the participating states. It is also expected to support broader efforts to improve technology skills among young people and educators.
The initiative highlights the growing importance of digital creativity in education and the need to equip students with practical skills that extend beyond traditional classroom learning.
