HRD Ministry launches portal

New Delhi, May 25:   

The Ministry of Human Resource Development on Wednesday announced the launch of a multilingual knowledge portal www.bharatavani.in, an official statement said. 

It aims to not only ensure universalization of education but also creation of a knowledge society in the digital age. The idea behind the initiative is protection, preservation and inclusion of all Indian languages through technological development without discrimination. 

The Central Institute of Indian Languages (CIIL), Mysuru, is implementing the project. 

The portal has been launched in 22 scheduled languages, which eventually will be extended to 100 more languages. 

Along with the portal, the Ministry has also launched the Bharatavani Multi-lingual app. This will enable users to search for one language text in another language as well as get meanings in different languages. Currently, the app has 35 multilingual dictionaries.
