Which organization launched the 'Never Alone' AI (Artificial Intelligence) App?
  1. a.AIIMS, New Delhi
  2. b.DRDO
  3. c.IIT, Madras
  4. d.NITI Aayog

Answer: (A) AIIMS, New Delhi

AIIMS, New Delhi launched 'Never Alone', an AI-based mental health and wellness programme for students, on World Suicide Prevention Day (10 September 2025). It works through a web and WhatsApp based platform that offers round-the-clock screening and links to counsellors at very low cost, and it was rolled out at the same time at AIIMS Bhubaneswar and IHBAS, Delhi. Other government mental-health initiatives worth remembering are Tele-MANAS (the national tele-counselling helpline 14416, run with NIMHANS) and Manodarpan of the Ministry of Education. DRDO (defence research), IIT Madras and NITI Aayog (policy think tank) had no role in this app.
