Bharat Gen, AI-based multimodal LLM for Indian languages, launched
New Delhi: Science and Technology Minister Jitendra Singh launched ' Bharat Gen ', an indigenously developed artificial intelligence-based multimodal Large Language Model (LLM) for Indian languages, here on Monday. Developed under the National Mission on Interdisciplinary Cyber-Physical Systems (NM-ICPS) and implemented through TIH Foundation for IoT (Internet of Things) and IoE (Internet of Everything) at IIT Bombay , Bharat Gen aims to revolutionize AI development across India's linguistic and cultural spectrum, Singh said. The initiative is supported by the Department of Science and Technology (DST) and brings together a consortium of leading academic institutions, experts, and innovators. Singh described Bharat Gen as a "national mission to create AI that is ethical, inclusive, multilingual, and deeply rooted in Indian values and ethos". The platform integrates text, speech, and image modalities, offering seamless AI solutions in 22 Indian languages. "This initiative will empower critical sectors such as healthcare, education, agriculture, and governance, delivering region-specific AI solutions that understand and serve every Indian," Singh said. The minister recounted a success story from his own constituency Udhampur where an AI doctor communicates fluently in the patient's native language. "It not only builds trust but has a placebo-like psychological effect, enabling better care in remote regions connected with superspeciality hospitals across India," he said. Singh emphasised the transformative role of Generative AI in grassroots governance, citing the integration of multilingual feedback systems into platforms like CPGRAMS to enhance citizen engagement and grievance redressal.

Everything to know about Bharat Gen, the AI-based LLM for Indian languages
Union Minister for Science and Technology, Jitendra Singh, launched 'Bharat Gen', an artificial intelligence (AI)-based multimodal Large Language Model (LLM) designed for Indian languages, in New Delhi on Monday. Developed under the National Mission on Interdisciplinary Cyber-Physical Systems (NM-ICPS) and implemented through TIH Foundation for IoT (Internet of Things) and IoE (Internet of Everything) at IIT Bombay, Bharat Gen aims to revolutionise AI development across India's linguistic and cultural spectrum, Singh said. Bharat Gen is backed by the Department of Science and Technology (DST) and brings together a consortium of top academic institutions, experts, and innovators to lead AI research and application. Describing the project, Singh said it represents a national-level effort to build AI that is 'ethical, inclusive, multilingual, and deeply rooted in Indian values and ethos.' AI to support healthcare, education, and governance "This initiative will empower critical sectors such as healthcare, education, agriculture, and governance, delivering region-specific AI solutions that understand and serve every Indian," Singh said. He also shared a real-life example from his own constituency of Udhampur, where an AI doctor communicates fluently in the patient's native language. "It not only builds trust but has a placebo-like psychological effect, enabling better care in remote regions connected with superspeciality hospitals across India," he explained. Singh highlighted the growing role of Generative AI in governance at the grassroots level, particularly through improved feedback systems in government platforms. "The integration of multilingual feedback systems into platforms like CPGRAMS helps enhance citizen engagement and grievance redressal," he said. What is AI-based multimodal LLM A multimodal Large Language Model (LLM) powered by AI is a highly advanced system that can understand and process various types of input, such as text, images, sound, and video. Unlike traditional language models that work only with text, multimodal models can combine different kinds of data. For example, they can look at an image and answer questions about it or watch a video and describe what's happening. These systems are trained on huge and diverse datasets that include more than just written words, which helps them carry out complex tasks across formats. By using multiple types of input, these models can interact in a way that's more similar to how humans understand the world. This makes them highly effective for practical use in areas like healthcare (such as reading scans and reports), education (like using visuals alongside text to aid learning), and accessibility (for instance, describing images to people with visual impairments). Multimodal LLMs are a big step forward in creating AI that's more adaptable, aware of context, and user-friendly.

IIT-I to develop tech translation research park
Indore: Indian Institute of Technology, Indore (IIT-I), is developing a Technology Translation Research Park (TTRP) with an aim to enhance digital health solutions and creating a seamless digital health ecosystem in the country. The advanced facility at IIT-I in digital healthcare to be set up under the National Mission on Interdisciplinary Cyber-Physical Systems (NM-ICPS) will work to bridge the gap between urban and rural healthcare services, leveraging telemedicine , electronic health records (EHRs), artificial intelligence-driven diagnostics and personalised medicine and care. The institute received a nod from the department of science and technology and governing body of NMICPS led by Kris Gopalakrishnan, founder of Infosys, to upgrade IIT-I's technology innovation hub Drishti CPS Foundation into a TTRP with an outlay of Rs 250 crore for next three years in tranches. Of the total proposed amount Rs 52 crore has been received by the foundation. "The new TTRP comes as a great validation of the initiatives on digital healthcare that has been incubated in IIT-I. We look forward to extending the mandate of IIT-I Drishti CPS Foundation into the digital healthcare through this new TTRP," said IIT-I director professor Suhas S Joshi. IIT-Indore established the Drishti CPS Foundation in 2020, which has so far supported over 150 technology projects and startups with funds and mentoring. Drishti CPS Foundation CEO Aditya Vyas said, "The research park will cater to the growing need of the nation in creating a robust digital health infrastructure. Drishti CPS is developing a flagship unified human digital twin platform - CharakDT. The novel, systematic and scalable architecture of CharakDT allows a unique way of creating individual health models (twins) for each patient by aggregating contextual data from multifarious sources and implementing large-scale AI models across dimensions of organ physics, demography, diagnostic tools, and environment."
