in.The portal & the website have been developed in-house by the Data Informatics & Innovation Division of the ministry. MoSPI also presented a Proof of Concept (PoC) for an AI/ML-based classification tool designed to ease the use of the National Industrial Classification (NIC) in production of official statistics.

The tool leverages natural language processing to allow stakeholders to enter text queries, subsequently suggesting the top five relevant NIC codes. This initiative aims at reducing the manual effort and to increase the productivity of enumerators, leading to more accuracy in data collection and ultimately at better planning and policy- making. These initiatives have been the result of recently conducted Hackathon from March 21,2025 to March 23,2025 at the IIT, Gandhinagar, organized by the ministry.
