Editorial summary

NITI Aayog discussion paper setting out India's AI strategy across five priority sectors — healthcare, agriculture, education, smart cities, and smart mobility — under the "AI for All" vision focused on inclusive growth.

Why this matters

India frames its AI strategy as "AI for All," and this NITI Aayog discussion paper is the source document for that slogan. It sets out five priority sectors — healthcare, agriculture, education, smart cities, and smart mobility — and makes the case that AI in India should be judged on inclusive growth rather than frontier capability. The paper is from 2018, so it predates generative AI, but it remains the most-cited framing in Indian government statements, parliamentary debates, and sector regulators. Reading it helps you understand why Indian AI policy conversations sound different from Western ones, even when the buzzwords match.
