BharatGen has been launched by the Ministry of Science & Technology

  • It is aligned with the goal of Making AI in India and Making AI for India. 

About BharatGen

  • Aim: Creation of Generative AI systems that can generate high-quality text (including speech) and multimodal content in various Indian languages. 
  • Implementing Agency: IIT Bombay under the National Mission on Interdisciplinary Cyber-Physical Systems (NM-ICPS). 
  • Features: 
    • Building and training based on Bhartiya data set: Collect and curate India-centric data, reducing dependence on foreign models. 
    • Multilingual and multimodal nature: Ensuring representation to the country's diverse languages, dialects, and cultural contexts. 
    • Open-source platform: Accessible to all citizens: Ensuring Industrial, Commercial, Cultural, and Inclusive technological development. 

About MLLM and Generative AI 

  • MLLM are Large Language Models (LLM) trained on large datasets including both text and non-textual data (image, audio, video, etc.)
    • LLM uses machine learning and is capable of recognizing and interpreting human languages or other complex data. 
      • Generative AI is the most well-known application of LLM. 
  • Generative AI includes algorithms/deep-learning models that can be used to create new content, including audio, code, images, text, etc.

National Mission on Interdisciplinary Cyber-Physical Systems (NM-ICPS), 2018

  • Objective: Brings together academia, industry, government and international organizations to foster entrepreneurship, translational research, and commercialization of CPS technologies.
    • CPS are networked systems in which the computational (cyber) part is tightly integrated with the physical components. E.g., autonomous vehicles, etc. 
  • Implementing Agency: Department of Science and Technology (DST).
