This collection showcased artificial intelligence (AI) solutions and works created by students and AI mentors, encouraging young minds to investigate the field. The programme promoted an innovative and technologically superior culture while positioning India as a leader in the AI field. An important turning point in President Murmu’s presidency was the founding of the Janjatiya Darpan Gallery in association with the Indira Gandhi National Centre for the Arts (IGNCA). This exhibit serves as a venue to highlight the creativity, culture, and nation-building efforts of numerous indigenous communities. The President emphasized the need of inclusivity and respecting the country’s rich past by showcasing the unsung heroes and their varied cultural practices. The President’s Estate’s Ayush Wellbeing Centre is one example of President Murmu’s emphasis on well-being. The centre emphasized the value of combining traditional healthcare practices into contemporary healthcare systems and supported holistic healing techniques. President Murmu promoted citizen-centered efforts to broaden access to Rashtrapati Bhavan throughout her term in office. The President’s Estate became more open by allowing visitors to Rashtrapati Nilayam and Rashtrapati Niwas in Mashobra throughout the year.  Public participation was also increased by extending Amrit Udyan’s opening period and increasing the number of visitor slots. The Rashtrapati Bhavan’s Chintan Shivir demonstrated President Murmu’s dedication to encouraging forward-thinking ideas and looking for novel solutions.
