New Delhi: An AI-based passenger profiling system will be deployed across airports to identify high-risk passengers, drug couriers and emerging narcotics trafficking trends as part of the government's drug-free India declaration, which is to be achieved over the next three years.
A drug screening mechanism will also be introduced in higher education institutions in a phased manner. This will cover the IITs, IIMs, NITs, central and deemed universities over the next three years, affecting more than 10 lakh students across 170 centrally-funded institutions.
