In a major step towards digital transformation, the Jharkhand government has announced a comprehensive artificial intelligence (AI) roadmap aimed at modernising governance and strengthening public service delivery. The state plans to invest Rs. 1,150 crore over the next 5 years to expand digital infrastructure and integrate AI across multiple sectors.
The announcement was made during the inaugural session of the 2-day National Stakeholders’ Consultation 2026 held in New Delhi on July 8, where the government presented the draft Jharkhand Artificial Intelligence (AI) Policy 2026–2031.
The proposed policy focuses on integrating AI into key sectors, including education, healthcare, agriculture, mining, environmental management, and disaster response, to improve governance and deliver better public services.
As part of the initiative, the government has proposed the Chief Minister Data Intelligence Platform (CM-DIP), an AI-powered system designed to monitor government programmes in real time. The platform will help departments track project implementation, analyse data, and make faster, evidence-based decisions.
The roadmap also includes sector-specific AI solutions. The Health & Nutrition Vigilance System (HNVS) will monitor healthcare and nutrition programmes, while the Critical Minerals Administration System (CMAS) will use AI-driven data analysis to improve mineral management.
According to the government, the AI roadmap has the potential to attract more than Rs. 10,000 crore in investments by 2050. During the consultation, the state also signed 14 Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) with a proposed investment value of Rs. 99,639 crore, covering projects across multiple sectors.
The government believes the initiative will strengthen Jharkhand’s position as a preferred destination for technology-led investments. The consultation brought together government officials, industry leaders, and technology experts to discuss the growing role of AI in governance and public administration.
