Pune: If all goes well, the Centre for Development of Advanced Computing may soon pilot a project on ‘digital tribal village’ in Odisha for the ministry of tribal welfare.
Inaugurating a day-long conclave on ‘technology for tribal’ at
C-DAC on Monday, Union minister for tribal welfare Jual Oram said C-DAC will help in language computing of two tribal languages Oraon (Kurukh) and Munda (Mundaris) for implementation on a pilot basis.
“Some languages are on the verge of extinction. People migrate to other places and then the second generation of the family hardly speaks their native tongue. In this, tribal languages and dialects are the worst affected,” Oram said.
Hemant Darbari, director general, C-DAC said, “Technologies dominated by artificial intelligence, VFX, virtual reality, big data, digitization will change the way we make and create things. The purpose of this conclave is to understand the need and provide tools and technologies to encompass the requirements thus obtained.”
