NITI Aayog launches the India S&T Scoreboard

3 November 2026

NITI Aayog has launched a new dashboard called the India S&T Scoreboard in New Delhi. S&T stands for science and technology. The Scoreboard is meant to put together, in one place, how States and Union Territories are doing on science, technology and innovation. NITI Aayog is the Government of India's policy think tank. It replaced the Planning Commission in 2015 and its full name is the National Institution for Transforming India. The Prime Minister is its Chairperson, and it has a Vice-Chairperson and a Chief Executive Officer. NITI Aayog already brings out several State-level indices, such as the SDG India Index and the Fiscal Health Index, and the Scoreboard adds science and technology to that set.
