India\\\'s rural population continues to face substantial challenges in accessing quality digital education due to persistent structural and technological constraints. Language limitations, inconsistent internet connectivity, and the absence of reliable skill certification mechanisms significantly hinder effective learning and restrict employability. Most existing digital education platforms are designed with an urban-centric approach, assuming English proficiency, continuous online access, and high digital literacy — assumptions that exclude large segments of rural youth and lead to underutilization of rural talent despite growing demand for skilled professionals. To address these challenges, Skill Bridge is proposed as an AI-powered, multilingual digital learning platform aimed at enabling inclusive and outcome-driven skill development. The platform leverages artificial intelligence to deliver personalized learning pathways and adaptive skill assessments, ensuring learners progress systematically according to individual competency levels. Blockchain technology is further integrated to provide secure, tamper-proof, and verifiable skill certifications, thereby enhancing trust and credibility among employers. By aligning learning outcomes with job readiness and employability requirements, Skill Bridge seeks to bridge the gap between digital education and workforce participation, creating sustainable skill development opportunities for rural youth and women across India.
