The world came together at the #IndiaAIImpactSummit2026 to build a future where humanity thrives with AI, and the 'Voluntary Guiding Principles on Resilient, Innovative and Efficient AI' are a direct outcome endorsed by 22 countries. The Principles shared a vision to support research and innovation in high-performing, cost-effective, and resource-efficient AI to advance measurement and transparency of AI's energy use and environmental impact, while promoting international cooperation and capacity building on efficient AI systems. These Principles will be propelled forward through collaborative initiatives such as the 'Advancing Resilient AI Infrastructure Playbook' and the 'Resilient AI Challenge', helping to transcend conventional constraints in AI development.

The India AI Impact Summit 2026 catalyzed national healthcare AI transformation, as the Capacity Building Commission launched Digital Health Foundation Course for Nurses (DHFC-N), equipping 300,000+ nurses nationwide with essential digital health & AI skills. Koita Foundation, alongside Maharashtra University of Health Sciences and Trained Nurses' Association of India (TNAI), powered this initiative, accessible to nursing students, faculty, CHOs, GNM, ANM, and in-service nurses via dual platforms, building standardized competencies from grassroots to national scale. #IndiaAIImpactSummit2026 #ResponsibleAI #PeoplePlanetProgress @PMOIndia @AshwiniVaishnaw @jitinprasada @PIB_India @SecretaryMEITY @abhish18 @kavitabha @GoI_MeitY @_DigitalIndia @mygovindia @FoundationKoita @CancerGridIndia

India AI Impact Summit 2026 marked a healthcare milestone with the launch of ‘SAHI’—Strategy for AI in Healthcare to enable safe, ethical AI adoption nationwide. Developed by Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MOHFW) along with Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR), WHO South-East Asia Regional Office, and National Health Authority (NHA), SAHI strengthened clinical decisions, public health intelligence, digital infrastructure, and patient outcomes. Koita Foundation proudly supported this landmark initiative, as Surabhi Goel joined NHA CEO Dr. Sunil Kumar Barnwal's roundtable translating SAHI's five pillars into national action. #IndiaAIImpactSummit2026 #ResponsibleAI #PeoplePlanetProgress @PMOIndia @AshwiniVaishnaw @jitinprasada @PIB_India @SecretaryMEITY @abhish18 @kavitabha @GoI_MeitY @_DigitalIndia @mygovindia @FoundationKoita @CancerGridIndia

From the India AI Impact Summit 2026, a major healthcare breakthrough emerged - the IndiaAI-NCG CATCH Grant, a first-of-its-kind initiative supporting AI-driven cancer solutions by the National Cancer Grid and Koita Centre for Digital Oncology. With 290+ applications received nationwide, 10 winners and 18 finalists were recognized, alongside the launch of the CATCH Grant Compendium. The summit also announced a landmark collaboration between ICMR-NIRDHDS, IndiaAI, National Cancer Grid, Ashoka University (KCDH), and IIT Bombay (KCDH) to develop a scalable gold-standard methodology for AI in oncology. #IndiaAIImpactSummit2026 #ResponsibleAI #PeoplePlanetProgress @PMOIndia @AshwiniVaishnaw @jitinprasada @PIB_India @SecretaryMEITY @abhish18 @kavitabha @GoI_MeitY @_DigitalIndia @mygovindia @FoundationKoita @CancerGridIndia

Sad to see misinformation circulating regarding HPV vaccination on social media. Clinical trials show that HPV vaccines provide close to 100% protection against cervical pre-cancers. Its inclusion in national programmes is a consistent recommendation from experts. @MoHFW_INDIA

#WATCH | Delhi: On India to launch India's free nationwide Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination campaign, Dr VK Paul, Member (Health) of NITI Aayog, "Cervical cancer refers to cancer that occurs above the mouth of the uterus. Its cause is a virus, the human papillomavirus, which causes this cancer, and there are two or three strains of it that cause it more. Fortunately, for diseases like cancer, we have a tool, a vaccine, that will prevent cancer for life. And the government is now launching a program to make this vaccine available to everyone. This is very important because when we look at the incidence of cancer, which cancers are common, this cancer is number two... Now, we must all join the program to provide this vaccine, which was already available in the market, to everyone in public health. We must all accept it without hesitation. The vaccine is completely safe. This vaccine is being used in more than 160 countries worldwide, and they are showing that it is almost eliminating this cancer. Now, when this vaccine is introduced in the country, it will be a boon for women's empowerment and our girls. You must all join this very soon and systematically. We administer this vaccine to children at the age of 14, who are entering the reproductive age, because there is a chance of this infection coming back after that."

Dr. Rajiv Bahl, Director General, Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR), emphasizes that the HPV vaccine is now being administered in more than 160 countries, including all developed nations. With decades of global research and safety monitoring, the HPV vaccine is proven to be safe and effective in preventing cervical cancer. #HPVVaccine #CervicalCancer #SwasthNari

Watch Dr. Rajiv Bahl, Director General, Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR), as he underscores that the benefits of the HPV vaccine outweigh any suspected harm by a wide margin. Backed by robust scientific evidence and continuous global safety monitoring, the HPV vaccine remains one of the most effective tools in preventing cervical cancer. #HPVVaccine #CervicalCancer #SwasthNari

A powerful step toward preventing cervical cancer begins with vaccination. Watch Dr. Rajiv Bahl, Director General, Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR), as he highlights that HPV vaccines are safe and have shown nearly 90% reduction in precancerous cervical lesions. Backed by strong scientific evidence and continuous safety monitoring, the HPV vaccine offers proven protection before cancer develops. #HPVVaccine #CervicalCancer #SwasthNari

Right information leads to right decisions! Gain insights from Dr. Rajiv Bahl, DG, Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR), as he explains how cervical cancer is caused and highlights the critical role of Human Papillomavirus (HPV) in its development. #HPVVaccine #CervicalCancer #SwasthNari

@BhatlaDr HPV vaccination of girls is a safe, secure and efficient way to freedom from the scourge of cervical cancer. A great gift for the girls, their families and communities on the road to health and wellness. Thank you Modiji for this opportunity #pmoindia #jpnadda #fogsi
