Coding is the language of the future. It is the foundation of all modern technology and it is becoming increasingly important in the workforce. In India, the demand for coding skills is growing rapidly.

There are a number of reasons why coding education is important in India. First, the country is home to a large and growing population of young people. These young people are the future of India's workforce and they need to be equipped with the skills they need to succeed in the digital age.

Second, the Indian economy is increasingly dependent on technology. The Information Technology (IT) sector is one of the largest and most important sectors in the Indian economy and it is only going to grow in importance in the years to come.
