PadhAI 2.0 Conclave

The PadhAI 2.0 Conclave, held on 17 February 2026 in New Delhi during the India AI Impact Summit 2026, marked an important milestone in the national dialogue on Artificial Intelligence (AI) in education. Building on the conversations initiated at PadhAI 2025, the conclave focused on how AI is reshaping governance, pedagogy, and learning outcomes across India’s education system. The event brought together a diverse set of voices, including ministers, policymakers, senior bureaucrats, institutional leaders, researchers, educators, technologists, and industry representatives. Importantly, the conclave also incorporated perspectives from students, young professionals, and practitioners working within education systems, ensuring that the discussions remained grounded in real institutional experiences while exploring future-facing approaches to AI-enabled education.
