The initiative taken by the Delhi government aims to enable the students to pursue higher education and diverse career pathways in the field. The IHFC will also extend its support to provide opportunities to students through internships, apprenticeships, guest lectures, masterclasses, visits and projects. IIT Delhi also claims that it will help in training the teachers and support and mentor them so as to enable them to teach efficiently, according to a statement from IIT Delhi,

Talking about the initiative, the Director of education at DBSE, Himanshu Gupta said, "It is important that schools now start offering courses and syllabus, which are beyond just the regular subjects. The future will appreciate individuals who come with an adept skill set in areas of new generation technologies like Robotics, Automation, ML, AI, which is going to be the norm of functioning for every industry in the near future.”
