Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav recently met with senior officials from Google Cloud India to explore collaboration on artificial intelligence (AI) solutions aimed at improving administrative efficiency and preparing for the upcoming Simhastha-2028 festival. During the meeting, it was announced that a 'Centre for Excellence' will be established in Indore, which will connect more than 10,000 AI developers and provide real-time technical support to the state and the Global South. A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for this initiative is expected to be signed soon.

Google Cloud officials highlighted their plans to strengthen key state departments, including agriculture, education, and women and child development, through AI-driven technologies. Additionally, AI will play a crucial role in enhancing crowd management, traffic operations, and public safety during the Simhastha-2028 festival, which is a significant Hindu religious event held every 12 years in Ujjain district. Google Cloud expressed its readiness to support the Madhya Pradesh government in establishing a safe and well-organized experience for attendees through advanced digital solutions.
