How the exam will ask it
ಪ್ರಿಲಿಮ್ಸ್
- The Frontier Tech Hub is part of NITI Aayog, not of the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology.
- The Data Centre Evaluation Framework is aimed at state governments planning data-centre investment.
- NITI Aayog is an advisory think tank and has no power to regulate or enforce, so its frameworks are guidance for states.
ಮೇನ್ಸ್
GS3 (Science & Technology, Infrastructure): data centres are the backbone of digital services and AI, yet states compete for them without a common yardstick. A framework from NITI Aayog gives states a way to evaluate projects and plan growth sustainably, which supports cooperative federalism. The way forward is for states to adopt such evaluation criteria in their policies so that investment gains are balanced against the burden on local resources.
