TDIL Programme
India is a large multi-lingual society with as many as
22 constitutionally recognised languages which include
English and National language Hindi. Therefore in order to communicate
with people of different regions, one has to know more
than one language. The recent advances in Information
Technology (IT) aims at narrowing down these communication
barriers. The Technology Development for Indian Languages
(TDIL) programme was launched by Ministry of Information
Technology, Govt. of India in the year 1991-92. The programme
aims at promotion of IT tools for Indian Languages
To
develop information processing tools to facilitate human
machine interaction, in Indian Languages and multi-lingual
knowledge resources.
To promote the use of information processing tools for
language studies and research.
To support R&D efforts in the area of information
processing in Indian Languages and to support research
on Knowledge Tools: Representation, Integration, compression
and learning methodologies.
To consolidate technologies thus developed for Indian
Languages and integrate these to develop innovative user
products and services.
