Overview
- Punjab Police and the state government, in a partnership announced Thursday, tasked IIT Ropar with building AI software for data analysis, voice recognition, dashboards, and real-time tracking.
- A memorandum with Dr. B. R. Ambedkar State Institute of Medical Sciences sets up a Data Intelligence and Technical Support Unit at AIIMS Mohali to coordinate work across agencies.
- The project will digitise handwritten reports and scanned PDFs so unstructured records can be merged with existing datasets into a single criminal database for one-click access.
- Leaders tied the effort to campaigns against gangs and drugs and said it will help trace networks, including gangsters operating from abroad who lure local youth.
- IIT Ropar and the state will develop predictive models and analytical tools that convert raw records into leads, which could speed case work and help officers act faster in the field.
