NEW DELHI. India Tourism Development Corporation (ITDC) and the Standing Conference of Public Enterprises (SCOPE), in collaboration with the Lal Bahadur Shastri National Academy of Administration (LBSNAA), have launched a three-day training programme titled ‘AI Champions for Digital Governance’. Inaugurated at Hotel Samrat in New Delhi, the initiative brings together senior officials from various Central Ministries, government departments, and Public Sector Enterprises (PSEs). The inaugural session featured key addresses by Capacity Building Commission Chairperson S. Radha Chauhan, Culture and Tourism Secretary Vivek Aggarwal, SCOPE Director General Atul Sobti, ITDC Managing Director Mugdha Sinha, and LBSNAA Joint Director Ganesh Shankar Mishra, who emphasized AI’s role in enhancing public service delivery and workplace productivity.
The specialized programme is strategically designed to equip public sector leaders with practical artificial intelligence skills to drive digital transformation.
