The Government is taking steps to introduce Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools to support the functioning of Gram Panchayats. The Ministry of Panchayati Raj has launched SabhaSaar on 14th August 2025, an AI-powered meeting-summarization tool that generates structured Minutes of Meetings from Gram Sabha and other Panchayat meetings using audio/video recordings. SabhaSaar uses advanced Natural Language Processing (NLP) technologies and is integrated with the BHASHINI, the National Language Translation Mission of MeitY, to provide multilingual support

SabhaSaar has been made available to all States/UTs and Gram Panchayats are progressively adopting the tool for summarization of meeting. As part of the initial rollout, all 1,194 Gram Panchayats of Tripura were encouraged to use the tool for the Special Gram Sabhas on 15 August 2025. A total of 12,667 Gram Panchayats used SabhaSaar on 15 August 2025, which further increased to 77,198 Gram Panchayats during the 2 October 2025 Gram Sabha. An on 28.11.2025, a total of 92,034 Gram Panchayats have used the SabhaSaar tool for automated meeting summarization.

SabhaSaar is integrated with BHASHINI, the National Language Translation Mission, and currently supports 22 Indian languages for text-to-text translation and 13 Indian languages for voice-to-text transcription, ensuring accessibility across diverse linguistic regions.
