NEW DELHI (India CSR): Samsung, India’s largest electronics brand, has certified 1,000 students at Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti Language University in Coding & Programming, Artificial Intelligence (AI), and Internet of Things (IoT) under Samsung Innovation Campus. The milestone brings the total number of SIC-certified students in Uttar Pradesh to 4,900, making the state one of the programme’s most active and significant training grounds in the country.
The 1,000-strong cohort comprises students from three key institutions in Uttar Pradesh: Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti Language University, Government Girls’ Polytechnic, and Dr. Ambedkar Institute of Technology for Divyangjan. Spanning three high-demand disciplines, the programme trained 600 students in AI, 300 in coding and programming, and 100 in IoT.
Launched in India in 2022, Samsung Innovation Campus focuses on expanding access to future-tech education to the youth. The curriculum is designed to go beyond technical instruction, embedding soft skills development and structured placement support to prepare students for the realities of the professional world—not just its entry points.
“India’s economic ambitions in the technology sector will ultimately be defined by how many young people are equipped with the right skills at the right time. These students from Samsung Innovation Campus represent a clear commitment to ensuring that Uttar Pradesh’s young talent participates in, and shapes, the global digital economy. With this programme, we are building a talent pipeline for the long run,” said Shubham Mukherjee, Head, CSR & Corporate Communications, Samsung Southwest Asia.
“Universities today cannot afford to be spectators as the world of work is being restructured around automation and digital intelligence. Our partnership with Samsung Innovation Campus is a direct response to that reality, giving our students not just knowledge but the applied capabilities that employers are actively seeking. I congratulate this graduating cohort and commend Samsung for making this investment in Uttar Pradesh’s future,” said Shri Yogendra Upadhyaya, Hon’ble Minister of Higher Education, Government of Uttar Pradesh.
The programme continues to expand its reach, with a target of training 20,000 youth across the country, reinforcing the company’s view that inclusive access to future-ready education is not peripheral to India’s growth story—it is central to it.
Nationally, the programme has recorded around 45% women participation, reflecting Samsung’s commitment to building an inclusive and equitable technology ecosystem. The programme is implemented in collaboration with ESSCI and the Telecom Sector Skills Council (TSSC) through accredited training partners.
Together with initiatives such as Samsung Solve for Tomorrow and Samsung DOST, Samsung Innovation Campus is helping strengthen India’s digital skilling ecosystem—empowering young innovators to learn, build, and shape the future through technology.
