NyayaSetu
Offline-First AI Governance Platform for Rural India
Overview
NyayaSetu (न्यायसेतु - "Bridge to Justice") is a production-grade, multilingual AI governance platform designed for rural Indian citizens and government officers with limited or no internet connectivity. It provides voice-native, Hindi/English/Hinglish access to government schemes, grievance routing, and notice management through local LLM inference - no cloud dependency required.

Book a private demoThe Problem
Over 833 million rural Indians lack reliable internet access, yet the delivery of government welfare schemes, grievance redressal, and public notices has moved almost entirely online. Approximately 313 million adults in India cannot read or write, making text-only digital portals effectively inaccessible. Fewer than 30% of eligible beneficiaries successfully access entitlements they qualify for, due to language barriers, connectivity gaps, and complex bureaucratic interfaces.
The Solution
NyayaSetu deploys entirely on-device using Ollama-managed local LLMs (Qwen2.5-14B for structured reasoning, Sarvam-optimized models for Indic language understanding), a FAISS vector store for semantic scheme search, and Helsinki-NLP multilingual embeddings - all without requiring internet. Citizens interact via voice in Hindi, English, or Hinglish; NyayaVaani transcribes speech with faster-whisper, routes queries through a RAG pipeline, generates contextual answers, and responds via Coqui TTS - completing the full loop offline.
