In a first for India, Uttar Pradesh has deployed AI-enabled video analytics platform 'Jarvis' in 70 prisons to monitor inmates States like UP, Rajasthan and Punjab face huge challenge of increasing crime rates making it imperative for state police department and CM office to use technology like AI + IoT and Video technology for real time alerts, crime control and any threats to security of inmates in prisons across states.

• Time to identify criminals and time to justice for crimes is lowest amongst developing countries hence since 2015 we saw creation of AI based Video analytics solutions.
• AI Video Warden for Prisons in Uttar Pradesh (UP)
• Staqu accessed ~1 million historic violence videos from UP Police on positioning of CCTV cameras. Following are some of the data points studied to build machine learning algorithm within Jarvis which is a ready to use platform from Staqu.

i. Inmates Movement Behaviour

ii. Inmates body language (Both suspicions and non- suspicions)

iii. Inmates conversations/ phrasings

iv. Visitor Inmates facial analysis

v. Correlate conspiracy executed with pre-recordings (Both successful and un-successful)

• UP Police and Staqu implemented JARVIS Video Wall to monitor real time footage from CCTV cameras across a vast network, and then flags any segment that looks to contain unlawful activity.
• JARVIS runs Real Time video data analysis from over 700 cameras installed across 70 prisons in UP with 24/7 data feeds on following parameters

i. Frisking of inmates

ii. Visitors facial and image recognition analysis

iii. Visitors behavioural analysis

vii. Intrusion detection

viii. Fights

• Key UP Police officials access Mobile App for Real Time insights on potential threats covering 900 km area across parameters like violence, unauthorised intrusions, illegal mobile phone and weapons.

Timeline: 6 to 8 months 

Uttar Pradesh has prepared a common beneficiary database of the people eligible for different schemes. This Artificial Intelligence-based database will help the Government to target citizens with all the schemes they are suited for and avoid duplication of efforts in the way of approaching separately for different schemes.

To upgrade education in the state, the UP government is all set to bring AI bots to secondary school examinations. The bots, installed in schools, will help track students and proxy invigilators besides assessing students on their previous grades, participation, and performance. Implementing AI on such a large scale would help in fixing the loopholes in the current system.

UP government deployed AI to solve the migrant crisis of the lockdown. Over 35 lakh migrants came back to the state and a portal was designed to compile information about them. The portal was not only used for providing Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) and food grains but also for providing jobs. The data was kept open for the industries and thus many companies hired these migrants based on the openings and skills.

The government of UP activated over 65,000 common service centres across the rural areas to deliver daily services to the citizen during the lockdown. The CSCs in Uttar Pradesh conducted over 1.65 crore transactions related to home delivery of food grains, e-pass, etc.
