The Indian government highlighted the major outcomes of the GARBH-INi (Group for Advanced Research in BirtH outcomes : DBT India Initiative) study on 23 march 2026 , which is India’s largest pregnancy cohort study designed to tackle preterm birth using indigenous AI solutions.
Outcomes of the Case Study :
The initiative led by the Translational Health Science and Technology Institute (THSTI) and the Department of Biotechnology (DBT), has developed several population specific tools like

- Researchers created the Garbhini-GA2 model, It is a population specific AI tool for accurate pregnancy dating in the second and third trimesters. It reduces gestational age estimation errors by nearly three times compared to Western models like Hadlock.
- The study identified microbiome-based predictors and genetic markers that allow for personalized risk assessments of preterm birth early in pregnancy.
- The program has enrolled 12,000 pregnant women, generating over 1.6 million biospecimens and 1 million ultrasound images. This data is accessible via the GARBH-INi-DRISHTI data-sharing platform.
- Teams have developed rapid diagnostic tools and AI-enabled ultrasound reporting systems to improve maternal care, especially in rural areas with limited access to specialists..
Technology Transfer and Partnerships:

- Significant partnerships were formalised, including the transfer of microbiome-based biotherapeutics technology and a collaboration with Qure.ai for AI-enabled risk stratification platforms.
- The study involves collaborations with IIT Madras, Safdarjung Hospital, and Christian Medical College Vellore
The initiative is part of a larger national mission aimed at reducing India’s high burden of neonatal mortality and ensuring a healthier population for Viksit Bharat 2047. for more India society issue visit the link
