India's Union Education Minister launched a new CBSE curriculum on Computational Thinking and Artificial Intelligence. The curriculum will be introduced for students from Classes 3 to 8, starting from the 2026-27 academic session. It aims to develop skills like logical reasoning, problem-solving, and pattern recognition.
