Odisha Explores AI Partnership with Sarvam to Build Sovereign, Citizen-Centric AI Ecosystem

The Odisha government held a high-level meeting with Indian AI company Sarvam to explore a strategic partnership aimed at building a secure and sovereign AI ecosystem in the state. The initiative aligns with Vision 2036 and Vision 2047 and focuses on population-scale AI applications to improve governance and public service delivery.

The Odisha government on Saturday conducted a high-level strategic meeting with Indian artificial intelligence company Sarvam to explore a potential partnership for developing a secure, inclusive, and sovereign AI ecosystem in the state.

The meeting was attended by Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi, the Minister for Electronics and IT, the Chief Secretary, senior government officials, and Sarvam’s leadership team. Discussions focused on creating shared, state-governed AI infrastructure, including secure computing systems and data platforms, to ensure that public data and AI models remain within Odisha’s trust boundary.

A key focus area was the deployment of voice-enabled AI applications across sectors such as education, agriculture, healthcare, e-governance, and public safety. These tools are expected to help citizens—particularly those in rural, tribal, and low-literacy regions—access government services, welfare schemes, and grievance redressal systems through conversational AI in the Odia language.

Both sides also discussed a parallel one-year execution framework, allowing government departments to prepare datasets and identify priority use cases while core AI infrastructure is set up. The discussions highlighted capacity building through training of officials, applied research, and development of local technical talent.

The partnership may be formalised through a Memorandum of Understanding during the Black Swan Summit on February 5 and 6, 2026, potentially positioning Odisha as a national model for citizen-centric AI governance.
