Madhya Pradesh govt to roll out AI mission in phases to boost governance

The Madhya Pradesh government on Saturday announced that, to make the administrative system more effective and ensure holistic development within the state, it will soon begin implementing the ‘AI Mission’ within the governance framework.

The implementation will be carried out in multiple phases. In the current financial year 2026-27, initiatives will focus on strengthening foundational infrastructure.

During 2027-28, successful AI use cases will be scaled up and deployed across various government departments.

From 2028 onwards, AI technology will be developed as a permanent institutional capability within the state’s governance system.

According to the government, the initiative is expected to play a pivotal role in streamlining service delivery and expanding economic opportunities.

“The state government is committed to extending the benefits of AI technology to all segments of society by making it both accessible and affordable. It will facilitate the delivery of faster, smarter, and personalised services to citizens, particularly farmers, rural communities, the youth, and marginalised sections of society,” the statement said.

The government further noted that the AI system will enable early identification of potential risks in critical sectors such as agriculture, health, nutrition, and disaster management

To enhance administrative efficiency, officials will be provided with AI-powered tools for drafting, data analysis, decision support, and data management.

“The application of AI will not be confined merely to pilot projects but will be extensively integrated into the state’s flagship schemes. For instance, its implementation in platforms such as E-Seva and Sampada 2.0 will ensure real-time tracking, making government services more accessible to citizens,” it added.

The government also stated that it will establish a robust AI ecosystem in the state by fostering partnerships with startups, educational institutions, and industry.

Through AI skilling programmes for youth and government officials, human resources will be prepared to meet future technological demands.

This announcement follows the Madhya Pradesh Regional AI Impact Conference, jointly organised by the IndiaAI Mission under the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) and the state government, held in Bhopal earlier this January.
