Bihar Poised for Growth in Education and Health with AI-Driven Governance, says NITI Aayog CEO

BIHAR

NITI Aayog CEO BVR Subrahmanyam on Monday said that Bihar is making notable strides in key areas like education and health, positioning itself to catch up with the rest of the country within the next few years.

Addressing a press conference in Gaya, Subrahmanyam expressed confidence that several aspirational blocks and districts in Bihar would soon transform into “inspirational” areas due to improved governance and enhanced service delivery. His remarks come ahead of a national conference on data-driven governance, set to begin on Tuesday.

“Bihar is performing well in terms of basic indicators like education and health,” Subrahmanyam said, adding, “Thanks to better governance, a number of aspirational blocks and districts will soon be considered inspirational.”

He also highlighted Bihar’s pioneering use of AI-driven decision support systems, making it the first state in India to implement such technology for policymakers, mid-career officers, and trainees. This initiative is set to revolutionize data-driven governance and is expected to be a key factor in Bihar’s continued progress.

A major milestone in this journey will be Tuesday’s inauguration of the Bihar Institute of Public Administration and Rural Development’s (BIPARD) GenNext Lab. Subrahmanyam emphasised that the lab, which he will personally inaugurate, will drive data-backed governance reforms across the state.

“BIPARD is positioning itself at the forefront of effective governance by aligning its strategies with rapidly evolving global realities,” he added.

The GenNext Lab is just one of several new initiatives aimed at improving decision-making and governance in Bihar. The Niti Shala, an immersive learning lab that uses advanced simulation technologies to create real-world training scenarios, and the Viksit Chintan Kaksh, a collaborative space for policy deliberation and decision-making, are other initiatives launched to foster an environment of innovation and reform in governance.

With state-of-the-art facilities for communication and data-sharing, these labs aim to facilitate policy discussions that will significantly impact Bihar’s governance reforms and development trajectory.
