(THE GIST OF PIB) Sansad Bhashini Initiative

(MARCH-2025)

The Lok Sabha Secretariat and the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to develop the Sansad Bhashini initiative recently.

It is an initiative jointly undertaken by the Lok Sabha Secretariat and Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) for the development of a package of in-house AI.
It is designed to integrate AI-powered tools that will facilitate multilingual support, optimize documentation and improve overall parliamentary operations.
The initiative will deploy cutting-edge AI applications such as real-time speech-to-text transcription, speech-to-speech translation, and interactive AI chatbots.
These technologies will ensure seamless translation of parliamentary debates, committee reports, and legislative documents into multiple Indian languages, thereby fostering inclusivity and broader public engagement.
It will leverage AI to transcribe spoken debates into text in real-time, making parliamentary discussions more accessible and easier to reference.
This transcription system will incorporate features such as background noise reduction, customizable vocabulary, and efficient documentation tools to enhance accuracy and usability.
Additionally, AI-enabled automatic summarization of extensive debates will facilitate quicker decision-making and streamlined record-keeping.
