Haryana Pioneers AI for Budget 2026-27: Public Suggestions Drive Policy

• Haryana government launches an AI-based initiative to make Budget 2026-27 a 'People's Budget' by collecting public suggestions.
• Citizens can submit feedback in Hindi, English, and Haryanvi via an AI voice feedback portal, ensuring inclusivity for non-literate individuals.
• Suggestions can be given by scanning a QR code for an AI voice assistant or by a missed call to 7303350030, triggering an AI callback.
• Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini's recorded voice welcomes callers, and AI chatbot 'Pooja' collects details and budget suggestions.
• All suggestions will be analyzed using AI and advanced data analytics, categorizing them by sector (health, education, agriculture, etc.) to inform policy.
