How IFS Varun Jain Reduced Human-Elephant Conflict Using AI

In parts of Chhattisgarh, human-elephant conflict had become a deadly routine. IFS officer Varun Jain decided to use technology as a shield between humans and wildlife.

He introduced AI-based alert systems and real-time foot patrols to track elephant movement and warn villagers in advance. The result was fewer casualties, fewer conflicts, and safer coexistence.

This initiative proved that conservation and human safety can go together if guided by intelligent policy and technology.
