How the exam will ask it

ಪ್ರಿಲಿಮ್ಸ್

  • BHASHINI is a Digital India initiative under the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) that builds AI-based language translation and speech tools for Indian languages.
  • Shrutlekh is a speech-to-text platform that converts spoken words in Indian languages into written text.
  • The National Centre for Good Governance, which hosted the programme, is located in Mussoorie and trains civil servants.

ಮೇನ್ಸ್

GS-III (Science and Technology) and GS-II (e-governance): language barriers limit citizens' access to digital public services. BHASHINI's voice-first, multilingual AI tools such as Shrutlekh support inclusive service delivery and officer training under Digital India. The way forward lies in quality datasets for low-resource languages, data privacy safeguards and wider adoption across State governments.
