That’s not sci-fi. That’s Sindhudurg, Maharashtra; the country’s first AI-powered district. Led by IPS officer Krushikesh Rawale, this coastal district rolled out AI across policing, healthcare, crowd control, and even wildlife protection. No fancy labs. No big city budgets. Just smart, practical tech solving real problems. NITI Aayog is now studying it for national rollout. If you’re preparing for government exams, this is the future you’re stepping into. Governance isn’t just about rules anymore; it’s about prediction, prevention, and precision. And it’s already here.
