At India AI Impact Summit, Prime Minister gave the human-centric vision of AI models in the form of M.A.N.A.V. Framework.

• These principles are to be translated into actionable outcomes across various sectors such as education, healthcare while developing AI models. 

About M.A.N.A.V. framework 

• M (Moral and Ethical system): includes fairness, transparency, and human oversight.
  • E.g. National Education Policy 2020 prioritises digital and AI literacy, ensuring early exposure to data-driven decision-making and ethical AI principles.
• A (Accountable Governance): includes transparent rules and robust oversight and clear institutional responsibility.
  • E.g. IndiaAI Mission institutionalises standards for responsible development and monitoring AI systems.
• N (National Sovereignty): securing critical datasets, strengthening domestic compute capacity, and fostering indigenous AI model development.
  • E.g. India Semiconductor Mission to reduced import dependence in semiconductors. 
• A (Accessible and Inclusive AI): AI must serve as a multiplier for society, not a monopoly of a privileged few.
  • E.g. India’s Digital Public Infrastructure (such as MeghRaj GI Cloud) is enabling AI solutions to scale affordably across sectors by democratising access to shared computing resources.
• V (Valid and Legitimate Systems): AI must include Trust, Safety, and Legality esp. at a time when deepfake pose risk to social trust. 
  • E.g.  Information Technology (Intermediary Guidelines and Digital Media Ethics Code) Amendment Rules, 2026 formally define synthetically generated content.
