The Goa government is planning to accelerate its ‘Swayampurna Goa’ vision through artificial intelligence in governance and citizen welfare. To this end, the state government has joined hands with enterprise software Modern Data Company behind DataOS.

Modern will work with the state to identify opportunities where its DataOS platform can help government departments make informed decisions in public service delivery, education, tourism and healthcare. These include identifying eligible households yet to receive government benefits and tracking scheme coverage at the panchayat level.

In education, AI can flag students who may need academic support. Tourism authorities can use visitor-footfall forecasts to plan crowd management, transport and safety resources. Healthcare applications will focus on early disease detection, medicine demand forecasting and identifying emerging health hotspots.

The MoU’s first phase involves the identification of a priority use case and assessment of implementation requirements with the objective of taking one selected use case live by February/ March 2027, subject to departmental readiness and approvals, and laying the groundwork for wider AI adoption across government functions.

“We see AI as an opportunity to take this vision further by helping the government better understand citizens’ needs, identify gaps in service delivery and make informed decisions at the grassroots level. This MoU aims to support this ambition with practical solutions that improve how public services reach people and strengthen governance,” said Sanjoy Roy, Vice President: APAC, Middle East & EU, The Modern Data Company.

DataOS, Modern’s AI-native data operating system, will help government departments bring relevant information together and make it usable for AI-driven insights and applications. The platform will support the secure and governed use of information, allowing departments to build on their current technology investments and develop solutions that can be extended to other areas of governance.
