Bharat AI: A Vision For Sustainable Growth And Public Welfare

The recent SaaSpocalypsea market shift that saw nearly 2 lakh crore in Indian IT valuation impacted by new AI automation toolsis a significant moment for reflection. As India moves to the front lines of the global AI race through the IndiaAI Mission, we have a unique opportunity to define a model of Bharat AI that harmonizes rapid innovation with our foundational commitment to a welfare state. While tech visionaries like Elon Musk suggest that AI may eventually lead to a Universal High Income, where the need for traditional work disappears, this transition carries a different weight for a nation of 1.4 billion. For India, the path forward can be one that ensures the benefits of AI are not concentrated among a few but are shared across the social fabric. By treating Bharat AI as a public utilitymuch like our world-leading Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI)we can ensure that technology serves as a pillar for national resilience rather than just an engine for private wealth. To be truly sustainable, Bharat AI must find its greatest application in the heart of the Indian economy: the rural agricultural sector. While predictive AI tools already exist in pockets of Indian agriculture, they often operate as isolated islands of innovation. For our 1.4 billion people, AI cannot remain a luxury for the few. The sustainable Bharat AI model must transition from fragmented private tools to a unified National Predictive Shield. By controlling the underlying data architecture, the state can ensure these tools are deployed as a form of Careproviding every small-holder farmer with a sovereign, multilingual advisor that protects their crops from pests and their families from debt. This is how we can use our AI initiative to empower every Indian to participate in our national progress. This balanced approach can also extend to our environmental goals. It is well documented that large-scale AI is resource-intensive; a single 100-megawatt data center can consume as much water daily as 6,500 households. In India, aligning our digital ambitions with our climate goals presents a leadership opportunity. By encouraging the use of renewable energy and advanced water-recycling technologies, we can protect our local ecosystems and the Air Quality Index (AQI). In this vision, Bharat AI becomes a catalyst for a cleaner environment, proving that high-tech growth and ecological health can go hand in hand. Is Gen Z Over-Relying On AI And Influencers For Skincare? Also Watch: Our Constitution envisions an economy where resources subserve the common good. Instead of the disruptive labor models seen elsewhere, Bharat AI can be designed as a National Co-pilot. Policy frameworks that encourage AI to augment our diverse workforce will support long-term stability. The IndiaAI Impact Summit is the perfect stage to showcase this vision. By prioritizing a welfare-first approach, India can lead a global shift toward AI that is not only powerful but also sustainable, equitable, and firmly anchored in the public interest.

Uttar Pradesh News: Yogi Government Launches Tech Yuva-Samarth Yuva To Train 2.5 Million Youth In AI And Immersive Technologies

Lucknow, February 14: Over the past nine years, the government led by Yogi Adityanath has established a new work culture of development, where the central focus is not only on building physical infrastructure but also on strengthening human capital. Taking this vision forward, the state government has launched the 'Tech Yuva-Samarth Yuva' scheme. Under this initiative, 2.5 million young people across the state will be trained in modern technologies such as Artificial Intelligence, Augmented Reality, Virtual Reality and Extended Reality, as part of a comprehensive drive to prepare Uttar Pradesh for the future economy. The Yogi government clearly believes that competition in the 21st century is not merely about resources, but about skills. In the first phase, digital infrastructure in the state was strengthened. A large number of young people were provided with tablets to ensure digital access. Now, building on this foundation, the government is transforming these devices into effective tools for skill development. Through application-based training modules, youth will receive practical and industry-oriented education, enabling them to directly connect with employment or business opportunities. For the financial year 2026-27, a provision of 100 crore has been earmarked for this scheme. This allocation is not just a budgetary figure, but a clear indication of the governments priorities. The Yogi government aims to make young people not just degree holders, but skilled and self-reliant. As demand for AI and advanced technologies continues to rise in the rapidly changing global economy, Uttar Pradesh is preparing its youth in line with future requirements, thereby creating a favourable environment for national and international investment. This initiative is closely linked to the states broader economic strategy. Industrial investment in Uttar Pradesh is increasing rapidly. Along with the Defence Corridor, data centre parks and various industrial projects, the pressing need now is for skilled human resources. The 'Tech Yuva-Samarth Yuva' scheme will play a crucial role in meeting this requirement. When trained youth are available locally, industries will gain momentum and employment opportunities will expand. A key feature of the scheme is that its benefits will not be limited to metropolitan cities. Youth from rural and semi-urban areas will also be able to access advanced training through digital platforms. This will help reduce regional disparities and ensure equal opportunities across all parts of the state. The Yogi governments vision of 'Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas' is being realised through such initiatives. Experts believe that the nature of employment in the coming years will be technology-driven. In this context, large-scale skill upgradation at the state level can significantly reduce the challenge of unemployment. This step by the Yogi government will instil confidence among youth and prepare them for global competition. Future benefits Enhanced technical proficiency among youth, enabling direct employment in emerging AI-based industries Availability of locally trained human resources for companies investing in the state, accelerating industrial development Increased opportunities for self-employment and startups, as technically skilled youth move toward innovation Equal opportunities for youth in rural and semi-urban areas, helping reduce regional disparities Also Watch: Uttar Pradesh Budget 202627 Boosts Religious Tourism With Major Funding For Pilgrimage Site Development Quote Training 2.5 million young people in AI and advanced digital technologies is not merely a skill development programme, but the beginning of a structural transformation. This step by the Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath government is set to redefine the states economy for the next decade. It will transform Uttar Pradeshs youth from a crowd of job seekers into a skilled workforce that attracts innovation and investment. Manindra Agrawal Director, IIT Kanpur

The Dy CM repeated this particular word more than a dozen times. BUREAUCRACY In Balaghat, You Can Now Adopt a Government School: IPS Aaditya Mishras Education Movement Balaghat, which had long suffered from the impact of Naxalism, is now empowering the next generation through education. IPS Aaditya Mishra, a 2018-batch officer of the Madhya Pradesh cadre currently posted as Superintendent of Police, Balaghat, has launched a transformative and sustainable social initiative titled Ekal Suvidha KendraVidyanjali. The initiative focuses on improving infrastructure in government primary schools located in remote and interior areas by facilitating community and corporate participation. Recognizing that in formerly Naxal-affected villages education and school infrastructure had long taken a backseat due to security threats, fear, and logistical challenges, the program addresses the reality that many government primary schools in interior forest regions had crumbling roofs, broken floors, poor sanitation, and little access to electricity or water. To bridge this developmental gap, the initiative operates on a social adoption model using the Vidyanjali framework, with a simple yet unique idea: inviting individuals, professionals, and organizations to adopt government primary schools and support basic renovation work. As per current data, 36 adopters are already associated with the project, covering a substantial number of schools. The broader objective is preventive in nature, aiming not only to improve infrastructure but also to change mindsets by building long-term community resilience, promoting developmental outreach, and ensuring that youth are not drawn toward negative or anti-development ideologies in the future. What began with modest expectations has gradually expanded, and in its first phase 100 schools have been completed, with the broader effort extending to nearly 250280 schools across remote belts. To ensure financial transparency and accountability, a registered Vidyanjali Society with a dedicated bank account, PAN, and DARPAN ID oversees the initiative, guided by the philosophy Jan-Jan ka bhagidar, ab shiksha hai taiyar. The transformation goes beyond basic repairs and focuses on holistic development by providing students with improved facilities and modern learning environments. Structural upgrades include repairing leaking roofs, cracked ceilings, damaged floors, and broken boundary walls, while schools are now equipped with secure main gates, proper electricity, fans, lighting, and functional doors and windows. Special emphasis is placed on WASH (Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene) facilities, including renovated and hygienic toilets, clean drinking water access, and modernized kitchen sheds to ensure safe mid-day meal preparation. Classrooms that once had peeling plaster and broken furniture are now painted in bright colors, furnished with modern desks, and redesigned as inspiring learning spaces. Remarkably, the average transformation cost per school stands at approximately 1.20 lakh, significantly lower than conventional costs, achieved through strong community participation and shramdaan by Balaghat Police personnel themselves. To ensure sustainability, the registered Vidyanjali Society encourages community ownership, supports implementation, and continuously monitors the initiative, with members drawn from civil society and professional backgrounds to ensure inclusive representation. Through this initiative, IPS Aaditya Mishra is enabling the next generation of Balaghat to write its own story of development with confidence and opportunity.
