India to use AI for Mahakumbh 2025; 200 Million Visitors Expected

As a seasoned researcher with extensive experience in technology and law enforcement applications, I am both intrigued and impressed by the Indian police’s initiative to deploy AI for the 2025 Mahakumbh Mela in Prayagraj. Given my past experiences in navigating large-scale events and understanding the complexities of managing crowds, I can appreciate the potential benefits this technology could bring, especially in real-time data analysis and crowd management.

For the upcoming Mahakumbh event in 2025, which is set to take place in Prayagraj district of Uttar Pradesh and will draw an estimated 200 million Hindu devotees, Indian authorities plan to utilize AI (Artificial Intelligence) technology. This tech will be employed to analyze real-time data for the purpose of ensuring security and managing crowds effectively.

In simple terms, the AI (Artificial Intelligence) system will be utilized by the Uttar Pradesh police, with them responsible for its implementation and supervision. This AI system, a combination of various data sources, will produce reports and provide real-time analysis capabilities for handling vast amounts of data, thereby improving crowd management during events like the Mela. As explained by the official.

Approximately 200 million people are anticipated to participate in the Mahakumbh Mela 2025. The technology being developed will aid police officers and security personnel in effectively and proficiently operating this system once it has been tested. Prior to the event, the system will be installed for use. This technological initiative is another notable achievement for the state police, following the introduction of the Mahakumbh Police App, which aims to enhance security and promote smart policing.

According to TOI, The Mela is scheduled from January 13 to February 26, 2025. An advanced AI system will manage live data handling and scalability during the event, ensuring its safe and efficient execution. This system will offer numerous features, including strategy development, intelligence report generation, coordinating data storage, maintaining security compliance, and safeguarding sensitive information.
