PM Modi taps Bhashini AI platform to bridge language divide
Narendra Modi used Bhashini, the Government of India’s national public digital platform for languages that develops services and products for citizens by leveraging AI, at two recent public events to enable travellers and students from southern India to understand his speech.
Bhashini counts among its various products and technologies, real time speech to speech machine translation, and automatic speech recognition, which Prime Minister Narendra Modi used on December 19 to interact with students in various parts of India via video conferencing.

Reshma could immediately talk about her solution: AI-based generative design of hydro power plants.
