It is a path-breaking initiative aimed at democratizing access to digital content and services across India’s linguistic spectrum. It aligns with the objectives of the Digital India program by fostering inclusivity and accessibility.

As a National Language Translation Mission, BHASHINI uses cutting-edge artificial intelligence and natural language processing technologies to bridge the language divide, enabling users to access content and services in their preferred language.

In January 2025, on the occasion of Army Day, the newly BHASHINI-integrated website of the Department of Defence Production was made available in 22 Indian languages.

At the same time, the multilingual functionality on the e-Shram portal was launched. The BHASHINI project was leveraged to upgrade the e-Shram portal, which was earlier available only in English, Hindi, Kannada and Marathi, with 22 Indian languages.

In August 2024, the multilingual e-Gram Swaraj platform, developed in collaboration with BHASHINI, was launched. Which aims to transcend language barriers, ensuring that every citizen can easily access digital services in their language.

The All India Council for Technical Education and the University Grants Commission have leveraged the Anuvaadini App to translate books for undergraduate and postgraduate courses, including technical books in multiple Indian languages. The translated books are available for public use.

The Department of Administrative Reforms and Public Grievances has been using the Anuvaadini App of BHASHINI for translating many official files and reports, such as such as NESDA-Way Forward, reports of Ministries and Departments related to CPGRAMS, and States and UTs reports related to CPGRAMS, Annual Report of CPGRAMS, Report of Grievance Redressal Index, Secretariat reforms Report and the monthly summary report of the Department. CPGRAMS is the largest grievance redressal portal in the country under the Department on which complaints can be lodged in 22 languages. Any citizen can get redressal in his or her regional language with the help of Bhashini on CPGRAMS. Every year, 2.5 lakh complainants use this facility.
