What is SARAL AI? New tool to Convert Research Papers into Simple Multilingual Content

Minister of the Science & Technology Jitendra Singh announced that the Anusandhan National Research Foundation (ANRF) is developing the AI-powered platform called SARAL AI. This platform will convert the complex research publications into the simple and easy-to-understand social media content in 18 Indian languages. It will help the bridge the gap between the scientific innovation and for the general public.

What is SARAL AI and How Will It Work?

SARAL AI is designed to simplify the scientific research and present it in the formats which are easy to consume for the everyday users.

Key Features of SARAL AI

• It converts the research papers and patents into the short videos, podcasts and posters
• Also generates the social media-friendly content for wider reach
• It supports in the 18 Indian languages which enhancing the inclusivity
• Creates the business briefs and presentations for practical use

The aim is to ensure that the complex technological developments can be understand by the non-experts and make the science more relatable and impactful.

Importance of This Initiative For India

India has been seeing the rapidly growing the research ecosystem but there are some more knowledge remains confined to the academic circles.

SARAL AI addresses this gap by,

• To promoting the scientific awareness among citizens
• Enhancing the public engagement with research
• Also to support the evidence-based decision making
• And encourage the innovation-driven development

ANRF’s Mission: Driving High-Impact Research

The Anusandhan National Research Foundation is playing the central role to transforming the India’s research landscape.

During the review meeting held in the New Delhi the focus was on to,

• Mission-mode research program
• Also the faster translation of research into real-world applications
• And the strengthening the collaboration between academia, industry and government

Boosting Research Ecosystem and Accessibility

To improve the ease of the doing research in India ANRF have introduced the several reforms like,

• The deployment of the nodal officers in 250 institutions
• Simplification of the administrative processes
• And the launch of WhatsApp and Arattai channels for the real-time updates.

It has also introduced the the PM-ECRG Lightning Talk Series which enables the researchers to present their work in short.
