NITI Aayog Digital Platform Launched by Vaishnaw

Union Minister of Communications, Railways, and Electronics & Information Technology Ashwini Vaishnaw launched NITI Aayog’s digital platform ‘NITI For States’ on March 7, 2024. The platform is a cross-sectoral knowledge platform designed to become a Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI) for Policy and Good Governance. It aims to facilitate the digital transformation of governance by equipping government officials with robust, contextually relevant, and actionable knowledge and insights, thereby enhancing the quality of their decision-making.

The platform features a live repository of 7,500 best practices, 5,000 policy documents, over 900 datasets, 1,400 data profiles, and 350 NITI publications. The knowledge products on the platform span 10 sectors, including agriculture, education, energy, health, livelihoods and skilling, manufacturing, MSME, tourism, urban, water resources and WASH (water, sanitation and hygiene) across two cross-cutting themes — gender and climate change. The platform is accessible through multiple devices including mobile phones and has a user-friendly interface that allows users to easily navigate.

Prior to launching the platform, Vaishnaw also inaugurated the ‘Viksit Bharat Strategy Room’ at NITI Aayog. The ‘Viksit Bharat Strategy Room’ is an interactive space where users can visualise data, trends, best practices and policies in an immersive manner and make a holistic assessment of any problem statement. It also allows users to interact through voice-enabled AI and connect to multiple stakeholders through video conferencing. It is designed to be a plug-and-play model to enable replication by states, districts and blocks.

Various government organizations have collaborated in this initiative by NITI Aayog. It includes iGOT Karmayogi bringing online training modules called “SAMARTH” which can be accessed by the platform. NITI Aayog’s National Data and Analytics Platform (NDAP) has been integrated to give access to government data sets; National E-Governance Division (NeGD) has extended support to develop the first-of-its-kind Viksit Bharat Strategy Room while multi-lingual support has been provided by Bhashini. PM Gatishakti BISAG-N team, with the support of DPIIT, has also been integrated for providing the geospatial tool for area-based planning.

The launch of the platform is expected to enhance the quality of policy-making and governance in India by providing evidence-based insights and best practices to government officials at various levels. It will also support district collectors and block-level functionaries by giving them access to innovative best practices across various states and Union Territories.

The Rise of the Machines: Mastering AI-Powered Campaign Types Google is unequivocally betting on AI to drive the future of its advertising platform. A key area of focus for marketers is understanding and mastering AI-driven campaign types like Performance Max and Demand Gen. These campaigns automate targeting, bidding, and ad creation across Google’s entire inventory.

Beyond the Click: Navigating the New Landscape of Measurement and Attribution With the impending deprecation of third-party cookies and a growing emphasis on user privacy, the way advertisers measure success is undergoing a fundamental shift. This has propelled topics like enhanced conversions, consent mode, and the integration of first-party data to the forefront. Marketers are actively seeking guidance on how to implement these privacy-centric measurement solutions to gain a more accurate and holistic view of their campaign performance in a world without granular user tracking. ### 3. Creative is the New Targeting: Leveraging AI for Compelling Ad Experiences In an automated world, the creative has become a key differentiator.

Users are increasingly employing longer, more conversational queries, and Google is responding with a more visual and AI-driven search engine results page (SERP). This shift requires a re-evaluation of traditional keyword research and bidding strategies. Trending discussions revolve around how to adapt to this new reality, including the role of broad match keywords, the importance of high-quality creative in visual search formats, and strategies for capturing intent in a more conversational search landscape. ### 5.

Advertisers are looking for insights on how to effectively use different Google Ads campaign types to guide users through the entire customer journey, from initial awareness to final conversion and retention. This includes discussions on how to structure campaigns to complement each other, allocate budgets across the funnel, and measure the impact of upper-funnel activities on bottom-line results.
