NITI for States is an initiative under NITI Aayog that aims to strengthen the capacity of Indian states and union territories to drive effective governance, improve development outcomes, and accelerate progress toward national development goals. The State Support Mission (SSM) acts as a collaborative platform that offers technical assistance, data-driven decision-making support, institutional strengthening, and policy advisory services tailored to each state’s unique development context. It promotes evidence-based planning, innovative best practices, and state-level implementation frameworks aligned with national priorities. The SSM has several institutional components to facilitate implementation including designating Lead Knowledge Institutes (LKI) to provide domain and technical support.
IIIT-B has been nominated as a Lead Knowledge Institute under State Support Mission to promote evidence-based policy interventions using data science. Engagement with LKIs includes providing knowledge support to various SSM initiatives through research studies, organising workshops, trainings, seminars or any other technical support as required by NITI Aayog for the implementation of the mission.
