"Incredible oppurtunity to connect with AI, move forward": MP CM Mohan Yadav

MP CM Mohan Yadav calls the India AI Impact Summit 2026 an incredible opportunity to connect with AI for state and global progress.

"This is an incredible opportunity to connect with AI and move forward with the world. - Mohan Yadav"

New Delhi, February 20

Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav on Friday said that the India AI Impact Summit 2026 provides an "incredibe oppurtunity to connect with the AI" and "move forward with the world".

Speaking to the reporters on the sidelines of the event, Yadav said, This is an incredible opportunity to connect with AI and move forward with the world. I have come here personally with my officials to see how it can be beneficial for our state and how we can become partners in the world so that the state progresses."

The India AI Impact Summit, the first global AI summit to be hosted in the Global South, reflects on the transformative potential of AI, aligning with the national vision of "Sarvajana Hitaya, Sarvajana Sukhaya" (welfare for all, happiness for all) and the global principle of AI for Humanity. This summit is part of an evolving international process aimed at strengthening global cooperation on the governance, safety, and societal impact of AI.

The India AI Impact Summit 2026 is guided by three Sutras or foundational pillars - People, Planet, and Progress. These sutras articulate the core principles for global cooperation on artificial intelligence. They aim to promote human-centric AI that safeguards rights and ensures equitable benefits across societies, environmentally sustainable advancement of AI, and inclusive economic and technological advancement.

PM Narendra Modi unveiled the MANAV Vision (Moral and Ethical Systems, Accountable Governance, National Sovereignty, Accessible and Inclusive, Valid and Legitimate).

Tata Group & OpenAI announced a partnership to build 100 MW of AI infrastructure in India, scalable to 1 GW.

The summit saw the launch of BharatGen Param2 (a 17-billion parameter model for 22 languages) and new large language models from Sarvam AI.

The India AI Impact Expo was extended by one day, concluding on February 21, due to strong public interest.

Good to see CM Yadav taking personal interest. The Tata-OpenAI partnership for AI infrastructure is huge! But my question is, will this create jobs for our engineers in Bhopal and Indore, or will everything be concentrated in Bangalore/Hyderabad? We need a clear plan for skill development across all states.

BharatGen Param2 for 22 languages is the real game-changer. Finally, AI that understands our local languages and contexts! This can revolutionize education and access to information in rural areas. Jai Hind!

The MANAV Vision framework focusing on ethics and governance is crucial. As AI develops, we must ensure it doesn't create new forms of inequality. The 'AI for Humanity' principle is commendable, but the proof will be in its implementation.

While the summit's goals are noble, I have a respectful criticism. We hear these grand visions often. What we need are concrete, time-bound projects. How will AI help a farmer in Sehore today? How will it reduce traffic in Indore? Let's move from *baatein* (talk) to actual *kaam* (work).
