J&K Govt initiates steps for establishment of Artificial Intelligence Mission Jammu, Mar 5: The government has initiated steps for establishing the Jammu & Kashmir Artificial Intelligence Mission (JK-AIM) to promote adoption of Artificial Intelligence and emerging technologies in governance across the Union Territory. A meeting in this regard was held under the chairmanship of Dr. Piyush Singla, Administrative Secretary, Information Technology Department, to deliberate on creating a structured institutional framework for enabling AI-based solutions in government functioning and public service delivery. During the meeting, the growing role of Artificial Intelligence in strengthening governance, enabling data-driven decision-making and improving citizen service delivery was discussed. It was observed that AI technologies can help analyse large volumes of data generated by government systems and improve policy formulation, operational efficiency and service accessibility. Secretary IT emphasized that the proposed JK-AIM will promote the use of Artificial Intelligence and emerging technologies across government departments and support development of AI-based solutions such as intelligent chatbots, automated grievance systems, multilingual communication platforms, predictive analytics and AI-enabled cybersecurity solutions. He stressed that the Mission will also encourage collaboration with research institutions, startups and technology partners to foster innovation. It was proposed that JK-AIM will function as a mission-mode initiative under the Information Technology Department, supported by a structured governance mechanism including a Mission Steering Committee for strategic oversight and a Technical Wing for implementation and coordination with departments. The Secretary asked the officers to prepare a detailed concept note and implementation framework for the Mission, including institutional structure, implementation roadmap, staffing requirements and financial implications, which will be submitted to the competent authority for further consideration. He said that the proposed JK-AIM is expected to strengthen digital governance in Jammu and Kashmir and support the adoption of advanced technologies to improve public service delivery and administrative efficiency. The meeting was attended by CEO JaKeGA Mahima Madaan, Deputy Secretary IT Department Rachna Sharma and Senior Consultant SeMT Puneet Kant.
