About the Program
The Artificial Intelligence Bootcamp was organized under the FutureSkills PRIME initiative in collaboration with C-DAC Pune. The program aimed to strengthen technical competencies and promote responsible AI practices among undergraduate students.The bootcamp was designed with a learn-by-doing approach. Each concept was supported with practical laboratory sessions to ensure immediate application of knowledge. The curriculum covered Python programming, data handling, visualization, machine learning, deep learning, computer vision, natural language processing, Generative AI, Explainable AI, Ethical AI, and Responsible AI
Day-wise Schedule, Overview & Procedures
Day 1: Introduction to AI and Python Basics
The bootcamp commenced with an introduction to Artificial Intelligence, its evolution, and its applications across industries. Participants were introduced to Python programming fundamentals including variables,data types, loops, and functions. Practical sessions allowed students to write basic programs and understand data manipulation techniques.
Day 2: Data Visualization and Machine Learning
The second day focused on data preprocessing, exploratory data analysis, and visualization techniques. Students learned about supervised and unsupervised learning algorithms. Hands-on implementation of regression and classification models enabled students to understand model training, testing, and evaluation metrics.
Day 3: Deep Learning
Day three introduced neural networks, activation functions, and backpropagation concepts. Participants worked on deep learning models using structured datasets. Practical implementation enhanced understanding of layers, loss functions, and optimization techniques.
Day 4: Computer Vision and Natural Language Processing
Students explored image processing fundamentals and computer vision applications. NLP sessions covered text preprocessing, tokenization, and sentiment analysis. Laboratory exercises included implementing basic image classification and text analysis tasks.
Day 5: Advanced NLP and Ethics in AI
The final day covered advanced NLP concepts, introduction to transformer models, and Generative AI. Special emphasis was placed on Explainable AI, Ethical AI, and Responsible AI practices. Students discussed bias, fairness, transparency, and responsible deployment of AI systems.The bootcamp concluded with interactive discussions, feedback collection, and acknowledgment of resourcepersons from C-DAC Pune.

On 27 February 2026, the School of Pharmacy, Vishwakarma University, Pune, conducted a meaningful extension activity titled “Small Gestures, Healthy Futures – Hygiene and Nutrition Support & Awareness Activity” at Niwasi Adhar Muk Badhir Vidyalaya, Bibwewadi, Pune, a residential school for children with hearing and speech impairment. The initiative was designed to promote awareness about personal hygiene, nutrition, and healthy lifestyle practices among children with special needs while strengthening the institution’s commitment to community-oriented education and social responsibility. During the activity, faculty members and pharmacy students engaged with the children through visual demonstrations, interactive sessions, and simple communication methods, ensuring that key health messages were conveyed in an understandable and engaging manner. The session focused on the importance of hand hygiene, oral care, personal cleanliness, and balanced nutrition in maintaining overall well-being. To make the learning experience enjoyable and inclusive, fun and activity-based games related to hygiene and healthy habits were also organized, which the children enthusiastically participated in and greatly enjoyed. These games not only created a joyful atmosphere but also helped reinforce important health concepts in a playful and memorable way. As part of the extension activity, hygiene kits and educational stationery were distributed to support the children’s daily hygiene and educational needs. The initiative also provided pharmacy students with valuable exposure to real-world community engagement, inclusive communication, and service- oriented learning. Overall, the activity served as a meaningful effort toward promoting health awareness, inclusivity, and compassion, demonstrating how small gestures can contribute to building healthier and happier futures for children with special needs. The initiative was thoughtfully designed and coordinated by Dr. Dipali Talele and Prof. Yogita Shinde, who guided the students in conductinginteractive awareness sessions and fun-based learning activities for the children.
The changes of workspaces today are quicker than old fashioned ways of education systems can adapt the use of artificial intelligence, robotics, and automation as big data is affecting different sectors such as healthcare, banking, production, communication. As companies implement these new ways, colleges have an immediate problem: to make the university education suitable for AI, automation and Industry 5.0 environments.
Choosing the best university in India is a major milestone that requires balancing academic quality with financial reality. With the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 bringing more flexibility to degrees, students and parents now have to look beyond just "brand names."
Here is an essential checklist to help you evaluate and shortlist the best institutions for 2026.
