How AI tool will bring structure, uniformity to minutes of gram sabha meetings across country
The Centre is set to unveil an artificial intelligence (AI)-powered tool to automatically generate minutes of meetings of gram sabhas, the primary body of the Panchayati Raj system, consisting of all registered voters of a gram panchayat. Named 'SabhaSaar', it will be rolled out in Tripura on Independence Day, August 15, and thereafter made available to other states, said a government official. Union Minister of Panchayati Raj Rajiv Ranjan Singh Lalan and his deputy Prof SP Singh Baghel will unveil 'SabhaSaar' in New Delhi Thursday, on the eve of Independence Day. A source said 'SabhaSaar' is built on Bhashini, an AI-powered language translation platform launched by the government to bridge literacy, language, and digital divides. The tool generates transcription from a video or audio, translates it into a chosen output language and prepares a summary. It enables transcription in all major Indian languages like Hindi, Bengali, Tamil, Telugu, Marathi and Gujarati, in addition to English, the source said. 'SabhaSaar' is ideal for panchayats, administrative bodies, and rural development projects as it streamlines documentation and empowers stakeholders with instant access to meeting insights, as per sources. As per the Ministry of Panchayati Raj, there are 2,55,397 village panchayats, 6,742 intermediate panchayats, 665 district panchayats, and 16,189 traditional local bodies across the country. A gram sabha is supposed to meet at least four days (January 26, May 1, August 15, and October 2) in a year. To ensure that gram sabhas meet regularly and function transparently, the Panchayati Raj ministry has launched a Panchayat NIRNAY portal, a real-time monitoring system that deals with their meetings. It has provisions for scheduling, notifying citizens with the meeting agenda well in advance, enhancing public participation, recording and enabling panchayat decisions for ready reference, bringing about transparency and accountability of panchayat functionaries in panchayat decision making and its implementation. According to data available with the ministry, over 10,000 gram Sabha meetings were held through the Panchayat NIRNAY platform during the financial year 2024-25. Most of these meetings were held in Punjab, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana and Bihar.

Top Gainers and Losers on Aug 13: NMDC Steel, JM Financial, HBL Engineering, Bharat Dynamics, BSE among top gainers
Indian stocks ended higher in Wednesday's trading session (August 13), with benchmark indices gaining over half a percent after a tamer-than-expected US inflation report raised the possibility that the Federal Reserve could cut interest rates next month. Domestic inflation continued to soften for the ninth straight month, hitting the lowest level since 2017 at 1.55%, below analysts' estimates. This also raised expectations of an interest rate cut by the central bank, lifting rate-sensitive stocks, including auto and realty counters. The Nifty 50 finished 0.54% higher at 24,619, while the S&P BSE Sensex gained 0.38% to settle at 80,539. The broader markets outperformed, with the Nifty Midcap 100 and Nifty Smallcap 100 indices each closing with gains of over 0.60%. Domestic brokerage Motilal Oswal noted in a recent report that falling oil prices, now at a two-month low of USD 66 per barrel, and optimism over a potential breakthrough in the August 15 US–Russia talks on a Ukraine ceasefire are further boosting investor confidence. Meanwhile, soft US inflation data release reassured investors, who had feared that President Donald Trump's broad tariff policies could push up prices in the US economy. The consumer price index rose 2.7% YoY in July. Traders are now pricing in a more than 90% probability of a Fed rate cut in September, with rising odds for additional cuts in October and December. Expectations of a Fed rate cut also pressured the US Dollar Index, which dropped below 98 against a basket of currencies on Wednesday. The greenback came under further pressure after White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt said President Donald Trump is considering legal action against Fed Chair Jerome Powell over his handling of renovations at the central bank's headquarters, comments that fueled concerns about the Fed's independence.
