IIT-Bombay launched its Project Udaan on the occasion of Hindi Diwas on September 14, 2021.
Project Udaan was launched with the aim of breaking the language barrier that many students face while joining the institutes of higher Education.
Project Udaan enables the translation of textbooks and other study material of the engineering and other streams from English to Hindi & other Indian Languages. This project was envisaged by Prof. Ganesh Ramakrishnan from Department of Computer Science & Engineering in IIT Bombay. It is a donation based and -based translation ecosystem. It helps in translating engineering textbooks and Learning materials in one-sixth the time as compared to manual tasking. This machine translation will be aided by human effort.
