Sindhudurg, India: First AI-Enabled District
Imagine a place called Sindhudurg that's using super-smart computers, called AI, to make things run better!
Since May 1, 2025, this place has been using AI in important departments, like the police and health.
These computers help keep people safe, solve problems faster, and even deal with things like accidents and animal movements.
A special team from the government is coming to see how it works, because they might want to use the same idea all over the country!

Eight key departments are using AI.
