Technology & Policy
Why WITP?
Various central and state governments have embraced automation and collect a plethora of data but silos persist and the data collected is often not analysed. To maximize the utility of such technologies, policymakers must, therefore, develop an executive-level understanding of the technology’s potential, and possess the ability to build frameworks critical in executing related initiatives.
WITP provides training on Data Analytics and Artificial Intelligence led tools that offer better insights to fine-tune policies and frame new ones, and provide solutions to myriad problems relating to economic development, provision of health services, improving learning outcomes, environmental protection, food security, equitable distribution of resources etc.
