Highlighting the proactive approach of the Narendra Modi Government in translating potential into reality, Minister of State for Skill Development and Entrepreneurship and Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY), Rajeev Chandrasekhar has said that artificial intelligence is a kinetic enabler for the growth of Indian technology ecosystem.

Chandrasekhar also mentioned that Artificial Intelligence can be a big business for some, but for the Government of India, it means use of AI – algorithms, layers on existing stacks to improve Governance delivery, agricultural programmes, defence, security and intelligence related programmes, revenue/tax collection as well as programmes related to Justice and Law.

Besides, citing the success of the world’s largest technology driven vaccination campaign, he remarked that “For decades multiple narratives have been built around India’s rich demographic dividend to highlight India’s potential. However, over the last 7 years, we saw how combination of decisive leadership and proactive policies can convert potential into reality.“
