The IndiaAI Mission was approved in March 2024 with a ₹10,371 crore outlay over five years. Approved initiatives include Saakshya, a multi-agent deepfake detection framework by IIT Jodhpur and IIT Madras; AI Vishleshak for audio-visual forgery detection; and IIT Kharagpur's real-time voice deepfake detection system. NIT Raipur is developing bias mitigation algorithms for healthcare, while IIT Delhi, IIIT Delhi and IIT Dharwad are building privacy-preserving models using federated learning. The government established the IndiaAI Safety Institute and issued India AI Governance Guidelines proposing a risk-based governance framework. Support has been identified for 20 indigenous sovereign AI model proposals, comprising 12 large language models and eight small language models, including Sarvam AI's 30-billion and 105-billion parameter models.
