Adopt AI in governance, including statistics and policy-making: Tripura Minister Bikas Debbarma
While addressing the valedictory programme of a three-day workshop 'Generative AI for Impact: Smart Tools for Smarter Governance', Debbarma also urged the departments concerned to champion the transformation digitally with continuous learning.
The minister felicitated the trainees and trainers at the workshop organised by the state government's Directorate of Economics and Statistics at Information Technology Bhawan in Agartala.
The workshop highlighted summarisation, hands-on training on AI-driven drafting, forecasting with Python, and data interpretation.
Over 60 officials of the Directorate of Economics and Statistics and the Union Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation (MoSPI), including NK Santoshi, Director General, Central Statistics, MoSPI; Abhishek Chandra, Special Secretary, Planning (Statistics), Tripura; and Anil Digambar Patil, Deputy Director General, NSO, attended the workshop.
Santoshi praised the directorate for laying thrust on capacity building during the global AI revolution.
Chandra stated that the AI is not just an add-on skill but a core governance tool and mentioned that Tripura aims to attract officials of other states for AI training in the future.
Earlier in the day, Tripura Chief Minister Manik Saha, at a separate function, had urged people to adopt AI in the new era of technology. He was speaking at an event held to distribute appointment letters to 184 newly recruited junior engineers under the Public Works Department (PWD).
