The
government’s public policy advisory body Niti Aayog is launching a digital
cross-sectoral knowledge platform called Niti for States,
which will create a digital public infrastructure (DPI) for policy and
governance. It may also make the platform, likely to be launched on Thursday, artificial
intelligence-enabled, official sources told ET.
Niti
for States will have a multi-sectoral live repository of :
# 7,500 best practices,
# 5,000 policy documents,
#
900 datasets,
# 1,400 data profiles of states, districts, blocks etc.
- broken
down by demography and socioeconomic indicators, and
#
350 NITI
publications.
While
the platform will be accessible online to all
to help think-tanks, academia etc., the primary goal is to enable
better policymaking as a ‘one stop shop’ for officials down to
local levels to access robust, contextually relevant and actionable knowledge
and insights for
quality decision making.
It
will also have knowledge products spanning 10 sectors including
agriculture, education, energy, health, livelihoods and skilling,
manufacturing, MSME, tourism, urban, water resources and sanitation and
hygiene, across two cross-cutting themes—gender and climate.
The
platform is integrated with Niti Aayog’s National Data Analytics
Platform as
the main data source.
“Niti for States comes
from a basic mandate of Niti Aayog, which is to foster cooperative federalism
and aid good governance with a whole-of government approach… This requires interoperability of databases
and real-time sharing of
work, for which going
digital is the only way,” an official said.
Around six states have been on-boarded
to access and engage with the platform already, and all
have been approached to upload their data and best practices to
populate the platform.
Apart from the online portal, Niti Aayog will
also launch a voice-enabled
Viksit Bharat Strategy Room in its premises, which will in future have multilingual
capabilities in 22 languages. The platform repository has been input in the
room to enable rich data visualisation for immersive engagement with
knowledge and insights for effective in-person discussions and
decision making.
The National e-Governance
Division was the service provider for setting up the room.
“The experience room aims to revolutionise
policymaking by integrating data-driven insights, fostering collaboration,
and enabling evidence-based governance. Through the convergence of cutting-edge
technology, geospatial
data and
real-time
monitoring, the experience room will empower policymakers to navigate complex
challenges and steer the nation towards sustainable growth and development,”
Saurav Bhaik, founder and CEO of tech-experiential company Tagbin, which provided the
technology for the strategy room, told ET.
The company’s speech-to-text and text-to-speech
software, along with multilingual capabilities through the government’s
Anuvadini initiative, were used to make the centre voice-enabled,
he added.
The official said that states will ideally
leverage the centrally-made software package to replicate
the strategy room in their respective capitals going forward, with added tools
and local contextualisation.
