Bengaluru: In a significant step towards enhancing transparency and efficiency in governance, the Government of Karnataka is set to introduce an Artificial Intelligence (AI)-enabled platform for easier access to Government Orders (GOs), circulars, and notifications. The project is being spearheaded by the Centre for e-Governance (CeG) and is aimed at both government officials and citizens.
The platform will centralise access to official documents across various departments, enabling users to search and retrieve information using specific keywords. The initiative seeks to eliminate delays and confusion while navigating multiple departmental websites.
The Centre for e-Governance (CeG) is leading the project under the guidance of its Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Dileesh Sasi. The development and technical implementation are being supported by the AI Cell at CeG, directed by Shreevyas H M. Initially, the AI system will be deployed in four to five key departments, including Revenue, Rural Development, and Panchayat Raj, which have frequent public interfaces.
The project is currently in development and is expected to be operational within the next few months. A phased rollout is planned, with access limited to government staff for testing and refinement purposes before public launch.
The project aims to address the persistent challenges citizens and officials face in locating accurate and updated government documents. By consolidating information into a single platform, the government seeks to enhance internal administrative efficiency and empower citizens with easy access to official information.
The AI-powered system will integrate a pop-up interface on departmental websites, where users can submit queries and receive relevant documents promptly. The platform will also archive legacy documents, including historical records from the British era, thus preserving valuable data while ensuring it remains easily accessible.
