How can i train my model on google colab or any other platform?
Hey @saksham_thukral, if your laptop cannot support such big computations, you need a GPU for that. And the only option to access data from google colab is to upload your data on the google drive and then mount your drive into your notebook. Yes you are correct it would take time to upload dataset of around 1GB, but once it is uploaded, you can very easily train the model quickly.
Hope this helps !
Happy Learning 
but is there any way that i do all the procedures like encoding images and captions and making vocab in google notebook and then saving the encodings , and then just performing the training part on the google colab? is it possible, or i have to start from starting to implement the whole project in google colab?
Yes absolutely you can do that ways. You can save the train and test encodings on your local computer and then upload them on google drive and use in google colab. But you would be complicating the stuff. You can ofcourse store weights/encodings/or whatever sir is storing in a file and load them in google colab. But then make sure you upload them correctly and use them by specifying the correct path in google colab !
Hope this helps you !
