Chief Minister Hemant Soren will present Jharkhand’s AI roadmap, digital governance strategy
July 5, 2026: Jharkhand is set to showcase its vision for Artificial Intelligence (AI), digital governance and technology-led growth at the National Stakeholders’ Consultation 2026, scheduled to be held in New Delhi on July 8 and 9. Organised by the Department of Information Technology & e-Governance, the event will bring together policymakers, technology companies, industry leaders and experts to discuss the future of AI-driven governance in India. Chief Minister Hemant Soren will address the inaugural session and present the state’s roadmap for building a digitally empowered, citizen-centric governance model while positioning Jharkhand as an emerging hub for AI and digital public infrastructure.
The state government will highlight AI as a tool to improve governance, transparency and public service delivery rather than just a technological innovation. Nearly 100 leading technology and IT companies are expected to participate in the consultation. Jharkhand will also showcase the proposed Ranchi IT Park, spread across nearly 100.97 acres of government land, as a major investment destination. The government will promote incentives under the Jharkhand IT Policy 2023, including capital investment reimbursement, stamp duty exemption and electricity duty waivers, to attract IT and IT-enabled services companies.
Another key focus of the event will be the Draft AI Policy 2026-2031, which aims to create a responsible and scalable AI ecosystem across government departments. The proposal includes setting up a State AI Mission, developing a Jharkhand AI Cloud linked with the Centre’s IndiaAI ecosystem, and deploying AI solutions in governance, agriculture, healthcare and mineral administration. The consultation will also feature the proposed Chief Minister’s Data Intelligence Platform (CM-DIP), designed to enable real-time data-driven governance and multilingual citizen services, reinforcing Jharkhand’s ambition to become a leading destination for digital innovation and technology investments.
