The IndiaAI Mission, under the ministry of electronics and information technology (MeitY), has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Karya, a non-profit organisation that works to increase accessibility of the artificial intelligence (AI) economy. The organisations together will work on strengthening India’s inclusive AI ecosystem through collaboration in data, technology, and capacity building.
The MoU is focused on the development, curation, and sharing of high-quality language and multimodal datasets to support inclusive and representative AI systems.
As part of the partnership, both entities will undertake technical cooperation to strengthen AIKosh data infrastructure, model evaluation frameworks, and standards for dataset quality, validation, and interoperability.
Commenting on the partnership, Scientist ‘G, general counsel, MeitY, and chief operating officer (COO), IndiaAI Mission, said, “Building a truly inclusive AI ecosystem requires data that reflects the full diversity of our people and languages. Our collaboration with Karya brings together complementary strengths, and we look forward to creating resources that are both high quality and representative.”
The partnership also aims to support capacity building and ecosystem development through training programmes, workshops, technical consultations, and knowledge-sharing initiatives across government and partner institutions.
