Which BHASHINI initiative invites citizens to contribute speech and text to strengthen language resources?

Language technologies need examples of how people speak and write. The ETD-2026 update highlighted a citizen-contribution initiative for building such resources.
The initiative is BhashaDaan. It helps enrich language resources through contributions such as speech, text and transcription. The name signals its purpose: people contribute material that can support language technology. A contribution initiative differs from a finished translation application used to process one document. Within the same ecosystem, different tools can therefore serve different stages—collecting language resources, handling terminology, transcribing speech or translating documents.
