New Delhi hosted a landmark AI Summit that spotlighted India’s ambitious strides in artificial intelligence and digital innovation. Experts from across the globe gathered to discuss the nation’s technological roadmap, underscoring the pivotal role of AI in shaping a modern economy.
Prof. (Dr.) Sushil Kumar Mishra, a prominent educator from Panipat, voiced strong support for Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision of integrating technology into governance. In an exclusive conversation, he praised the PM’s consistent push for digital systems to enhance transparency and administrative efficiency.
Dr. Mishra highlighted success stories like Aadhaar-linked welfare schemes, streamlined tax collection, and reforms in the public distribution system. ‘Technology has slashed corruption and ensured direct delivery of benefits to citizens,’ he noted. For India to emerge as a global superpower, leading in tech is non-negotiable, he asserted, positioning AI as the cornerstone of future progress.
Once lagging in adopting new technologies, India is now charging ahead, exemplified by this grand summit that signals the country’s capabilities to the world. Dr. Mishra emphasized the government’s efforts to extend digital innovation to its 1.4 billion population through Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) and digital banking.
With smartphones proliferating, 5G networks expanding, and 6G on the horizon, AI-driven systems can penetrate even rural areas effectively. Such global events bolster India’s international stature, showcasing its prowess as an emerging digital economy to foreign delegates.
Addressing protests by Indian Youth Congress (IYC) at the summit, Dr. Mishra advocated for democratic debate but urged viewing international platforms as opportunities for national unity. Political differences should be aired in Parliament, he said, calling for cross-party support as India positions itself as a global leader.
Ultimately, AI and digital transformation transcend politics; they define the future for 1.4 billion Indians. Prioritizing national development over partisan divides is essential, Dr. Mishra concluded.
