PANAJI

As part of its journey to become an AI-led state under the Goa AI Mission 2027, Goa government has inked a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Digital India Bhashini Division (MeitY) to bring multilingual AI solutions to State’s public systems, ensuring that governance becomes more inclusive and accessible for citizens across languages and backgrounds.

The MoU between the Department of Information Technology, Electronics and Communications (DITE&C) and MeitY was signed during an event  ‘AI for Governance & Social Impact: Leveraging Technology for Inclusive, Responsible, and Sustainable Public Systems’.

The event brought together leaders from government, academia, and global industry to discuss how Artificial Intelligence can strengthen governance with inclusivity and sustainability.

At its core, the day carried a clear vision: to make Goa a living model of how AI can drive inclusive, ethical, and sustainable governance, where innovation translates into social impact and every citizen becomes part of the digital economy.

Addressing the gathering, Minister Khaunte said that the government is focusing on capacity building, ethical and responsible AI, and turning innovation into impact, because AI is not just a buzzword, it must remain human-centric.

Speaking on MoU, Khaunte stressed that this is a shared mission, where integrating AI into governance goes beyond efficiency to embrace creativity, inclusivity, and transformative impact. “Goa embodies a spirit of innovation, openness, and resilience, and is prepared to lead this transformation,” he added.
