Jharkhand launched the AI Policy 2026–31 with the objective of transforming the state into a leading hub for artificial intelligence, digital governance, and technology-driven innovation. The roadmap aims to attract more than ₹10,000 crore in private investment, establish over 50 Global Capability Centres (GCCs), support more than 1,000 AI startups, and generate over one lakh AI-enabled jobs within five years. The policy also emphasises AI-powered governance through initiatives such as the Chief Minister’s Data Intelligence Platform, Health and Nutrition Vigilance System, and Critical Minerals Administration System, while strengthening the state's IT infrastructure, startup ecosystem, and digital economy.
