NITI Aayog inaugurated the Viksit Bharat Strategy Room (VBSR) at the Lal Bahadur Shastri National Academy of Administration (LBSNAA), Mussoorie, as an extension of the Strategy Room at NITI Aayog. The VBSR is designed as a dynamic governance hub to foster analytical thinking, innovation, and data-based decision-making among India's future administrators.

The Strategy Room integrates data from multiple sectors for real-time monitoring, planning, and decision support. Alongside, NITI Aayog's Use Case Challenge received 250+ submissions from Aspirational Districts across six themes: health, education, agriculture, infrastructure, social development, and financial inclusion. 18 districts were felicitated for winning use cases.
