The Department of Telecommunications (DoT) launched the 'Sangam: Digital Twin' initiative for large-scale event management on February 16. Through this initiative, DoT intends to display how integrated data analytics can improve the process of infrastructure development. 

• To do so, it relies on digital twins— virtual representations of physical objects that accurately represent the object.
• These virtual representations are updated using real-time data to accurately reflect the object.
• They use simulation, machine learning, and reasoning to help ease decision-making.
• The aim is to demonstrate how integrating these data streams can expedite and enhance decision-making, leading to a more nuanced and informed approach to various infrastructure challenges.
