This study aimed to design, implement, and evaluate Federated Neuro-Symbolic Governance (FNSG), a privacy-preserving cross-silo framework that couples neural concept learners with symbolic rule synthesis, to deliver interpretable district-level decision support. FNSG operates in a hierarchical federated topology (district clients, state aggregator) using NFHS-5, MGNREGA, census/SECC proxies, and geospatial layers. Local clients train neural concept encoders, extract symbolic rule candidates, and transmit clipped, DP-noised updates plus anonymized rule evidence for secure aggregation and global rule distillation. In pilot experiments (K=20 districts, geographic holdout) FNSG achieved mean test AUC 0.84 versus centralized 0.88 and FedAvg 0.80, Precision@100 0.69, and produced concise global rules with fidelity ? 0.72. Privacy - utility sweeps indicate acceptable utility at ? ? 2 (AUC ? 0.82), with degradation at ? ? 1; convergence required ? 110 rounds and per-epoch client time ? 18 s on CPU (? 8 s on GPU). FNSG balances utility, interpretability, and data sovereignty. Policy implications include staged pilots, capacity building for district data centers, mandatory audit logs, and India Stack-mediated consent and integration. 2026 IEEE.
