The India AI Mission, launched in March, aims to advance the nation’s AI capabilities with initiatives such as the IndiaAI Datasets Platform, innovation centers, skill development programs, and startup funding. Maharashtra plans to build on these foundations to further empower industries, educational institutions, and citizens.

Additionally, Shelar announced the Maharashtra Cyber Security Policy 2025, which will establish a comprehensive cybersecurity framework to protect digital services, government infrastructure, and private sector IT systems from cybercrime. The state already offers over 800 online government services, emphasizing the need for robust cybersecurity measures.
