Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

DPI platform ‘Niti for States’ to offer key insights to officials..  Eco Times  /  07 March 2024

Extract :

 

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.

 

My Take :

 

Dear NITI  Aayog :
