OpenAI, in collaboration with the Ministry of Education, Government of India, AICTE and ARISE Schools, will distribute 5 lakh free ChatGPT Plus accounts to students and teachers of government schools and technical colleges. This will enable teachers and students to use ChatGPT as an AI tutor: to create lesson plans, to ask questions, to prepare teaching content, for interactive learning.
