Union Minister Jitendra Singh on Friday said more than 30 lakh central and state government officials will be trained and exposed to emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, and blockchain by 2023 for effective governance and service delivery at the grassroots.
He said there are 25 central training institutions, 33 state-level administrative training institutions, and other civil service training institutions, besides the Capacity Building Commission and the Wadhwani Institute of Technology and Policy (WITP) which will jointly achieve this noble mission.
Mr Singh, the Minister of State for Personnel, said artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning can detect fraud in GST and income tax returns, blockchain for securing records and certificates, and data-driven decision-making through the use of analytics.
He said civil servants will soon use these techniques in day-to-day work and administration.
