Prisma AI partners with district administration to train locals in data labeling

In a landmark collaboration, Prisma AI has signed a non‑financial MoU with the Balrampur‑Ramanaganj district to launch the state’s inaugural data annotation centre. The venture is designed to equip rural youth and women with hands‑on experience in AI data preparation tasks, opening a new avenue for digital earnings.

The signing ceremony was attended by the district’s chief executive officer, Prisma AI’s chief executive Dr. Shri Ram Ayyar, and representatives of local self‑help groups. The agreement outlines shared responsibilities: Prisma AI will provide technology, training modules, quality monitoring, stipends, incentives and internet connectivity. The district will contribute the physical space, basic infrastructure, selection of participants and liaison with the NRLM and skill development departments.

A pilot batch of ten participants will begin training under a dedicated instructor and a quality supervisor. The training program covers AI awareness, digital competencies, data labeling, image and object tagging, classification, verification, and quality review, ensuring participants can perform industry‑standard tasks.

The Collector highlighted that many women in the district’s self‑help groups have completed secondary or higher education and are comfortable using digital devices. By offering AI‑based work locally, the centre is expected to reduce migration for jobs and advance the government’s goal of creating substantial digital employment for rural women.

If the initial ten‑seat pilot demonstrates positive outcomes, authorities plan to enlarge the centre’s capacity, creating a sustainable pipeline of AI‑skilled workers for the region.
