The Maharashtra Pollution Control Board (MPCB) has officially launched `GreenMind AI`, an artificial intelligence-powered environmental information assistant developed by Axion Labs, an official statement said on Tuesday.
The system aims to make environmental governance in Maharashtra more transparent, accessible, and citizen-friendly.
The launch took place at the MPCB Headquarters in Mumbai in the presence of MPCB Chairman Siddhesh Kadam and Member Secretary IAS M. Devendra Singh.
GreenMind AI is designed to help citizens, industries, and environmental professionals easily access official information about MPCB’s rules, permissions, and circulars — all in one place, officials said.
The platform has three main parts-
1- Public Chatbot, an AI assistant that answers questions about MPCB norms and guidelines in simple language, with accurate, source-linked information.
2- Internal AI Portal, a tool for MPCB officers to quickly find and interpret regulatory data, improving efficiency in decision-making and document processing.
3- Admin Panel, a secure dashboard that allows MPCB staff to update documents, track user queries, and monitor public engagement in real time.
Speaking at the launch, MPCB Chairman Siddhesh Kadam said, “GreenMind AI represents a major step towards digital transparency and smart environmental governance. By combining artificial intelligence with regulatory data, MPCB aims to make environmental compliance easier and more accessible for everyone.”
The launch of GreenMind AI marks an important milestone in MPCB’s efforts to use advanced technology to strengthen environmental regulation and citizen engagement across Maharashtra, officials said.
Member Secretary IAS M. Devendra Singh added, “We are proud to have integrated GreenMind AI within our systems. The platform bridges the gap between citizens and environmental information, ensuring that clarity and compliance go hand in hand.”
