Union Christian College Alwaye in Ernakulam, Kerala is going to host an online faculty development program from the 20th to the 25th of January where for the first in India a significant issue will be discussed. 

That is how to promote rural sports through the application of Artificial Intelligence. The six-day faculty development program, supported by the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) has been laid out to explore the latest inclination in AI-driven media content creation and its application in rural entrepreneurship. 

Experts from different quarters such as media stakeholders, educators, technologists, research scholars, government officials, NGO representatives, and small entrepreneurs are expected to attend the workshop. 

13 sessions have been scheduled with eminent resource persons sharing their vast experience in the specific domains. Several key resource names are enlisted in their respective subjects who will share their experience. 

Shine S. George, one of the professors of Union Christian College and one of the key men who has taken the initiative to host this online faculty development program revealed while speaking from Alwaye that Ritankar Chakrabarty, the expert in sports business management will explain how rural and local sports can be promoted through the social media by the application of Artificial Intelligence technology. 

"It might happen in the future that a customized AI Chatbot will be designed and applied to the promotion of rural and local sports events. These events generally do not get the deserving opportunity to reach the masses," said Professor Shine George.
