The initiative is designed to preserve tribal culture and empower communities. It has been developed in collaboration with IIT Delhi, BITS Pilani, IIIT Hyderabad, IIIT Nava Raipur, and several Tribal Research Institutes. In its first phase, Adi Vaani will cover Santali, Bhili, Mundari, and Gondi languages, with more languages like Kui and Garo to be added later. The tool uses advanced AI models such as No Language Left Behind (NLLB) and IndicTrans2 to provide real-time translation between Hindi/English and tribal languages.
