The UDAAN project (https://www.udaanproject.org/) from IIT Bombay, led by Prof. Ganesh Ramakrishnan, has been providing an end-to-end Machine Translation Framework for translation of technical content into Indian languages and is being widely used. Aicte India, in its announcement on 27-12-2022, has specifically acknowledged this contribution at https://www.aicte-india.org/content/aicte-acknowledgement-udaan-team-iit-bombay-technical-book-writing-scheme.

"The UDAAN Team helped immensely in speeding up the process of translation of technical books. The strong foundation of their data-efficient machine learning approaches organized at http://decile.org has immensely helped this platform. Thus their work is based on continuous research resulting in faster turn-around time for correcting errors and fine-tuning the translation models in a low-resource setting. IIT Bombay is sincerely trying to continuously upgrade and upkeep the UDAAN platform based on valuable inputs from AICTE, coordinators & translators/reviewers for translation work of technical books into different Indian regional languages."
