NITI Aayog Encourages Indian Techies to Try New Blockchain Module
India's government-backed think tank, NITI Aayog, has released a blockchain module to help local developers explore the potential of the sector through experimental use cases, trials, and errors. NITI Aayog has teamed up with the Indian blockchain platform 5ire and the career mentorship platform Network Capital to help organise this project.
The move backs up what India's Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman has said many times: that India is sceptical of cryptocurrencies, but it is eager to learn as much as it can about the blockchain technology that powers them.
Under its Atal Innovation Mission (AIM), the NITI Aayog wants to encourage young Indians to start their own businesses. It is said that its Atal Tinkering Labs (ATL) work with over 10,000 schools in India to help students learn about tech trends at a young age.
Blockchain technology is the backbone of Web3 and many of its other parts, such as cryptocurrencies, non-fungible tokens (NFTs), and the metaverse.
So, Indian web designers want to know how blockchain can be used in the next phase of the Internet. NITI Aayog has sent out a call to all blockchain developers who can help with this project.
The government-sponsored think tank in India, NITI Aayog, has introduced a blockchain module to aid local developers in exploring the market's potential through test cases, trials, and errors. The NITI Aayog has teamed with the Indian blockchain platform 5ire and the career mentoring platform Network Capital as co-participants in organising this initiative. The action supports Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman's frequently made claim that, despite India's scepticism regarding cryptocurrencies, the country is eager to fully utilise its underlying blockchain technology.
The Atal Innovation Mission (AIM) of the NITI Aayog seeks to encourage an entrepreneurial mindset in young Indians. According to reports, the Atal Tinkering Labs (ATL) collaborates with over 10,000 schools in India to expose pupils to tech trends at a young age.
The backbone infrastructure for Web3 and many of its other components, including bitcoin, NFTs, and the metaverse, is provided by blockchain technology.

Indian site designers are therefore interested in learning how much blockchain can be used in the forthcoming phase of the Internet. All such developers who stand to gain from this blockchain effort have been contacted by NITI Aayog.
'Blockchain is fundamentally changing how businesses operate and how economies are defined. This module will teach kids as young as grade six the concepts of blockchain, which will help them in solving social challenges through its implementation. It has the ability to open up huge prospects for the youth. The programme covers the fundamentals of blockchain technology before moving on to its case-based applications in various industries, according to a statement from NITI Aayog's mission director, Chintan Vaishnav.
This year, India is expected to create more than five million software developers. Brian Armstrong, the CEO of Coinbase, travelled specifically to India in 2022 to recruit engineers who were enrolled in prestigious schools there.
Companies like CoinDCX have opted to start awareness campaigns across the country to inform people about cryptocurrency and blockchain in an effort to protect those dabbling in the area.
Given that blockchain has started to attract interest from India's startup and government groups, accurate knowledge about these cutting-edge technologies is currently needed.
To preserve health data permanently and unchangeably as NFTs, the Maharashtra government, for instance, partnered with the Algorand blockchain in December last year.
To maintain uniformity in the information around the incidents that would be investigated, the Firozabad police introduced a new complaint forum in October of last year. This forum was constructed on the Polygon blockchain. On the blockchain network, no data can be changed or updated once it has been submitted.
It is only natural for developing technology to introduce new vocabulary. Blockchain is a sophisticated new technology that differs from other online experiences. This makes it a little difficult to understand the technology. But it's not a complicated science. Blockchain technology increasingly reveals itself as more consumers get interested in it, according to a statement from NITI Aayog.
