Department of Science and Technology
Five evidence-based challenges identified for this entity, each paired with a ready-to-build AI tool specification — free for the Government of India to deploy.
Top 5 Challenges
Drawn from official reports, audits, parliamentary material and public feedback. Framed as improvement opportunities, never as criticism.
-
1
Research grant processing and utilisation certificate tracking burden investigators and staff
-
2
Fellowship disbursement delays trigger recurring complaints from research scholars
-
3
Project outcome data across funded institutions lacks standardised digital capture
-
4
Technology readiness of funded innovations remains poorly mapped to industry needs
-
5
Survey and geospatial data services face slow request turnaround times
Five AI Tools
Each tool answers the matching challenge above, and is built on curated official sources with safeguards and human oversight.
Anudaan Sarathi
Grant Lifecycle Management Copilot
A grant lifecycle copilot for DST programme officers and investigators — guiding proposals through sanction, release, utilisation certificates and closure, auto-drafting compliant paperwork under GFR norms, and flagging pending UCs so funds and projects stop stalling.

Fellowship Disbursement Tracker
Tracks fellowship disbursements for DST schemes like INSPIRE — reconciling scholar records, institution confirmations and payment status, diagnosing delay causes, and drafting clear responses to scholars so recurring stipend complaints fall.

Research Outcome Analytics Dashboard
Standardises research outcome reporting across DST-funded institutions — converting heterogeneous project reports into structured outputs (publications, patents, prototypes, manpower trained), and building analytics dashboards that show what the funding actually produced.

Innovation-Industry Matchmaking Engine
Matches DST-funded innovations to industry needs — mapping technology readiness levels, identifying sectors and companies that could absorb each technology, and drafting introduction packages so lab outputs under NIDHI and mission programmes find real-world adopters.

Geospatial Data Request Assistant
Speeds survey and geospatial data services for DST's mapping ecosystem — helping users frame compliant data requests, checking them against the National Geospatial Policy and Survey of India norms, tracking turnaround, and drafting responses with correct licensing terms.
