Bangalore

GOOGLE has launched a programme to train two million developers in India for its Android platform as it fires up a race with Apple Inc for the country's developers to create innovative mobile apps.

The Android Skilling programme will be introduced for free across hundreds of public and private universities and training schools through a specially designed, in-person programme this year. It would also be available through the government's National Skills Development Corporation of India, the company said in a statement.
