What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The Ministry of External Affairs admitted to a parliamentary committee that India does not possess a single, stand-alone policy document consolidating its strategy on digital governance, artificial intelligence, cyber issues, and space diplomacy. Instead, the Ministry stated that its strategic direction is reflected across various sectoral missions and inter-ministerial coordination mechanisms. The parliamentary committee criticized this approach as 'Fragmentary, piecemeal and ad hoc'.
