He announced the operationalisation of the Gujarat Unified Digital Stack, aimed at making digital governance smarter, faster, and deeply citizen-centric.

As part of the event, the Chief Minister launched the Gujarat AI Stack, featuring six plug-and-play AI tools for governance - Agriculture AI, scheme eligibility checks, procurement chatbot, grievance classifier, document extractor, and chat management solutions.

The Gujarat Cloud Adoption Guidelines 2025 were also unveiled to make digital governance more secure, scalable, and AI-ready, while easing access to MeitY-empanelled cloud services and national GPU compute.

With GIFT City and Henox to establish a Cable Landing Station in Gujarat, enabling global digital connectivity and strengthening green data centre infrastructure.

The conference, organised as a pre-event to India’s upcoming AI Impact Summit 2026, showcased an AI Experience Zone where the Chief Minister visited various startup exhibits.

CM Patel emphasised that Gujarat has always led technology-driven development and that AI will empower sectors such as agriculture, health, governance, and urban-rural transformation, adding significant strength to the vision of Viksit Gujarat @ 2047 and contributing to Viksit Bharat.

Deputy CM Harsh Sanghavi said Gujarat will become the centre of India's AI revolution.

AI, he said, is not merely a field but a new source of energy powering every sector. He highlighted successful AI initiatives across Gujarat - FASAL AI in agriculture, SIMBA project for wildlife protection, AI-enabled improvements in GSRTC, and innovative uses in policing, including child reunification during the Ahmedabad Rath Yatra and the first AI-driven anti-narcotics operation in Dahod.

The focus on Gujarati language models with Bhashini is crucial. Technology should be accessible to everyone in their mother tongue, not just English speakers. Hope this helps our farmers and small business owners the most.

All these announcements sound great on paper. My respectful criticism is that we need to ensure the digital divide is bridged first. What about villages with poor internet? The tools are useless if people can't access them.

The AI tools for agriculture and wildlife protection (FASAL & SIMBA) mentioned are genuinely impressive. Using tech for sustainable development and conservation is the need of the hour. Hope other states learn from this.

Gujarat Cloud Adoption Guidelines 2025 and the Cable Landing Station with GIFT City are big moves. This will attract more IT companies and create jobs. Making the state a digital hub is a smart long-term vision for Viksit Gujarat.

The grievance classifier and document extractor tools could be game-changers if implemented well. Getting a quick resolution for complaints and not having to submit the same papers ten times would be a blessing! Fingers crossed. 🤞
