04:12and that is the facility available.
04:16This is the job.
04:18Head and head are here.
04:22Hello. I am Pamkhaz,
04:24from Head and head-and-eye foundation.
04:26I lead the foundation.
04:27We are a Bangalore-based charitable trust operating from about 20 years now.
04:32So we signed an MOU with the Avishkar Foundation this morning in partnership with Janiai Technologies
04:41to launch 25 Janiai cafes across Eastern UP.
04:45Now the cafes are places where we are getting AI to work for common households.
04:50It's about building household resilience, building pathways for youth, women and farmers
04:57and other demographics which have been traditionally left behind.
05:02So the core purpose of the Janiai cafes are they are built on rails of digital public goods
05:07and we are now across all the Eastern UP in partnership with the Avishkar Foundation looking
05:14to see how do you get digital public goods with the power of AI into the hands of the
05:18common citizens to build livelihoods, to discover markets, to discover capabilities, to discover
05:25opportunities and in essence open up, bring out a lot of prosperity into the households.
05:31So we already have 10 Janiai cafes running out in the country, 5 in Prayagraj and 5 in Mysore
05:38and along with this partnership we will be opening up in 25 more districts.
05:42So that's the plan, how does, you know, AI stop being a tech problem and actually bring
05:48abundance to households.
05:50So that is the plan and I am really looking forward to this partnership with Avishkar Foundation
05:55and Janiai to take AI into the hands of the common people.
