NITI Aayog and NCERT Shared AI Vision for India

  • NITI Aayog's role involves setting the strategic direction, promoting research, and creating an enabling environment for AI adoption.
  • NCERT plays a crucial role in translating this vision into action by integrating AI into education, developing the necessary curriculum and resources, and ensuring that future generations thrive in an AI-powered world.


This is evident in their aligned approaches to:

●Building a Robust AI Ecosystem: NITI Aayog, as the government's think tank, has formulated the "National Strategy for Artificial Intelligence," outlining a roadmap for research, skilling, and accelerating AI adoption across various sectors. NCERT's efforts complement this by integrating AI into the school curriculum, fostering AI awareness, and equipping future generations with essential AI skills.

●Addressing India-Specific Challenges: Both organisations recognise the need to develop AI solutions tailored to the Indian context. NITI Aayog advocates for creating India-specific annotated datasets and promoting research on issues relevant to India, such as agriculture, healthcare, and education. NCERT's AI integration strategy also emphasises linking AI concepts to real-life problems and drawing on examples relevant to Indian students.

●Promoting Ethics and Inclusivity: Both NITI Aayog and NCERT acknowledge the ethical considerations surrounding AI and emphasise responsible AI development and deployment. NITI Aayog's strategy calls for establishing Ethics Councils and promoting research on AI bias and transparency. Similarly, NCERT's approach stresses the importance of sensitising students to AI ethics through discussions and simulations.

7 Big Markers for AI Integration in Schools


The "NCERT_AI_Integration_Manual." outlines 7 key markers to guide educators in developing structured action plans for integrating AI into the K-12 learning experience. 

These markers, intended for incorporation into various subjects across grade levels, provide a flexible and age-appropriate framework for AI education, allowing educators to adapt them to their specific teaching contexts.


1. Problem Identification: Students should be encouraged to develop the crucial skill of identifying and scoping problems. This involves recognizing a problem, understanding its context, and defining it clearly. This step is presented as the crucial starting point of any learning cycle and is emphasised as important for learners of all ages.

2. Data Acquisition: Following problem identification, students should learn how to gather relevant data related to the problem. This step highlights the importance of data in problem-solving and introduces the concept of data as a fundamental element in AIs.

3. AI Tools for Data Collection: Students are introduced to the idea that computers can "see," "hear," and "speak" through various AI-powered tools. These tools can be used to collect different types of data, and learners should be encouraged to explore and utilise such tools to enhance their data collection processes.

4. Representing Data Through Models: Once data is collected, students should learn to represent and present it in clear and understandable visual formats like graphs, charts, and other models. This step emphasises the importance of data visualises the importance of data visualisation and interpretation, key skills for effective data analysis in AI and other fields.

5. Understanding Machine Learning: Students are introduced to the concept of machine learning, where computers learn from data to improve their performance over time. This step aims to demystify machine learning and illustrate how computers can become "intelligent" by learning from data, much like humans do .

6. Capabilities and Limitations of AI: Open discussions about the capabilities and limitations of AI are encouraged. While acknowledging AI's potential, it's emphasised that machines, while capable of enhancing human efficiency, are unlikely to replicate the full complexity of human intelligence. This step fosters critical thinking about the role of AI in society.

7. Ethical Considerations of AI Applications: Students of all age groups should be encouraged to consider the ethical implications of AI. This involves discussions, simulations, and debates about the responsible use of AI, potential benefits and harms, and the importance of ethical considerations in the development and deployment of AI applications.


These 7 markers provide a practical and comprehensive roadmap for schools to integrate AI education into their curriculum. By focusing on these markers, schools can build a strong foundation for students to understand and engage with AI in meaningful and ethical ways.
