Preservation of Indian Languages through Digital Tools and Resources: With reference to Bharatvani platform

Author(s) Dr. Sunita Acharya
Country India
Abstract Languages are essential for establishing social cohesiveness, transferring information, and defining cultural identity. Despite this, urbanization and globalization are threatening to wipe out a number of languages worldwide. When it comes to linguistic obsolescence, India is hardly an exception. This study discusses the state of Indian languages and examines Bharatvani, the largest language platform in the country, as an essential tool for preserving and restoring Indian mother tongues and languages. This systematic evaluation examines Bharatvani's technical infrastructure, user interface, instructional materials, and user reviews. Utilizing a qualitative research approach, secondary data from scholarly sources and user reviews are examined in order to shed light on Bharatvani's strengths and weaknesses. The study's conclusions, which are based on input from 261 reviewers, provide important new information on the usability and functionality of the app. The results also point to social and technical barriers to digital archiving, including low community knowledge and involvement, browsing problems for indigenous populations, and accessibility concerns. Accordingly, the research comes to the conclusion that Bharatvani is a useful instrument for preserving language that may be expanded. Policy and practice recommendations include ensuring technical accessibility and digital fairness, enhancing community involvement, and maximizing the platform's efficacy.
