I don’t know that the Indian govt throws money at anything, so I’m not sure about that part.

here's a single point link to access all funding agencies - https://www.india.gov.in/research-development-funding-scheme...

here's the govt budget for AI - https://inc42.com/buzz/budget-2018-ai-ml/

NITI specifically recommends collaborative programs for funding (as well as ethics organizations) - http://niti.gov.in/writereaddata/files/document_publication/...

there's a crap ton of govt funding for initiatives like this. I interact with the NITI Aayog personally on this.
