Taking Voice-First Multilingual AI Beyond Borders: BHASHINI at NCGG Mussoorie

Published: Oct 14, 2026

By TIOLCorplaws News Service

NEW DELHI, OCT 14, 2026: THE Digital India BHASHINI Division (DIBD), under Digital India Corporation (DIC), Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY), facilitated real-time multilingual communication at the National Centre for Good Governance's (NCGG) Capacity Building Programme on Urban Service Delivery for Civil Servants of Multiple Countries, being held in Mussoorie from 12 to 23 October 2026. Sponsored by the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), Government of India, the programme is organised by NCGG under the Department of Administrative Reforms and Public Grievances (DARPG), Government of India, as part of India's international capacity-building efforts through the Indian Technical and Economic Cooperation (ITEC) Programme.

The programme brings together civil servants and public-sector representatives from countries including Peru, Cambodia, Nigeria, Kenya, Palestine, Lebanon, The Gambia, Ecuador and Spain, providing a platform for international exchange of experiences and best practices in governance and urban service delivery.

As part of the programme, BHASHINI deployed its Shrutlekh platform to facilitate real-time translation between English and Spanish during the ice-breaking session. The platform supported translation in both directions - English to Spanish and Spanish to English - helping international delegates communicate and participate more effectively despite language barriers.

The deployment reflects BHASHINI's Voice-First Multilingual AI approach, which seeks to make communication and digital services more accessible through speech-based, multilingual technology. By enabling participants to engage across languages, BHASHINI demonstrated how AI-powered language solutions can support inclusive international collaboration and public-sector capacity building.

The BHASHINI team supported participants in using the Shrutlekh platform and introduced them to the BHASHINI ecosystem, its multilingual AI capabilities and potential applications across sectors such as healthcare, finance, agriculture and public service delivery. Participants were also encouraged to explore the BHASHINI mobile application and its features for overcoming language barriers in everyday communication and digital interactions.

Shrutlekh is intended to remain available for use throughout the programme, which concludes on 23 October 2026, subject to operational requirements. The engagement highlights the potential of Voice-First Multilingual AI to strengthen cross-cultural interaction, facilitate knowledge exchange and enable more inclusive participation in international capacity-building initiatives.

Through this initiative, BHASHINI continues to showcase India's capabilities in AI-powered language technology and its potential to support accessible, multilingual digital experiences across diverse public-sector contexts.
