Union Minister Unveils India’s First AI Large Language Model for Indian Languages

New Delhi: Dr. Jitendra Singh, the Union Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Science & Technology,  unveiled ‘Bharat Gen’ at the “BharatGen Summit,” India’s premier Generative AI and LLM event. This government-funded, nationally developed, and AI-driven Multimodal LLM (Large Language Model) is the first of its kind for Indian languages.

BharatGen, an initiative of the National Mission on Interdisciplinary Cyber-Physical Systems (NM-ICPS), is designed to transform AI development for all of India’s languages and cultures. This model is developed by the TIH Foundation for IoT and IoE at IIT Bombay and supported by the Department of Science and Technology (DST). It’s a collaboration of leading academic institutions, experts, and innovators.

Dr. Jitendra Singh, a key figure overseeing Science & Technology, the Prime Minister’s Office, and Atomic Energy, among other responsibilities, spoke at the Summit and called BharatGen a “national mission to create AI that is ethical, inclusive, multilingual, and deeply rooted in Indian values and ethos”.

This platform provides AI solutions in 22 Indian languages, handling text, speech, and images.

Dr. Singh said, “This initiative will empower critical sectors such as healthcare, education, agriculture, and governance, delivering region-specific AI solutions that understand and serve every Indian”.

Dr. Jitendra Singh stated that BharatGen aligns with PM Modi’s “India’s Techade” for inclusive innovation. He proudly shared how India’s doing great in AI, especially with CPGRAMS, which is now a global example of how to handle people’s complaints effectively.

The Union Minister highlighted that the Anusandhan NRF will give a huge push to R&D, complementing important initiatives like PM MUDRA, SVANidhi, and Vishwakarma Yojana that are uplifting so many people. He also pointed out how Generative AI is improving governance right at the grassroots level, and how NEP 2020 is fostering a more holistic approach to learning by blending different fields.
