As part of its continued efforts to make Maha Kumbh-2025, scheduled to begin on January 13, a grand, secure and digital event, the Uttar Pradesh government has started implementing an advanced analytics system AI-powered data analysis for improved security management.

This system will strengthen the monitoring capabilities of the Mahakumbh Police, helping to create an effective strategy by analyzing real-time data from the incident location and designated areas, including for crowd management and other security measures .

According to Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP), Mahakumbh Mela, Rajesh Kumar Dwivedi, a dedicated team will be formed to oversee the implementation of the advanced AI-based data analytics solution system. The team will also contribute to monitoring, helping to train police and security personnel, as well as generating various reports.

The move is expected to be another milestone for the Uttar Pradesh Police, which has already launched the Mahakumbh Police app as part of its efforts to strengthen security and adopt smart policing.

Dwivedi said the new system will further strengthen police surveillance, thereby enabling more effective strategies for the safety of devotees and the smooth running of the fair.

With over 40 crore pilgrims expected at the Maha Kumbh, a lot of data will require in-depth analysis for effective crowd management, public safety and security.

To handle this, the Prayagraj Mela Police will form a dedicated team for the grand event, tasked with building and operating an AI and metadata-based big data analytics solution system. This system will ensure the safe execution of the event and improve inter-agency coordination.

The AI-powered solution is being developed to provide real-time data analysis and seamless integration of multiple data sources. The team will also be responsible for training police officers and security personnel to operate the system effectively.

Once the testing phase is completed, the system will be deployed before the start of Maha Kumbh 2025. The aim of the data analytics solution is to enable real-time analysis of large-scale datasets, improving thus crowd management and public safety during the Maha Kumbh.

The system also aims to improve inter-agency coordination, quickly detect potential threats and generate actionable intelligence for national security.

Additionally, this will ensure robust data management and scalability, supporting the safe and efficient execution of the event. To achieve this, various software solutions will be implemented throughout the process.

The data analytics solution system will be equipped with the following features:

— It will operate at scale as a comprehensive data analytics solutions provider.

— It will enable real-time data processing, evaluation and correlation for strategy creation.

— It will help generate intelligence reports and implement effective strategies.

— It will serve as a dashboard to generate specific reports and coordinate data storage.

— It will ensure security and protection of sensitive data, while providing training and support.
