“With the implementation of Artificial Intelligence (AI), the rich heritage of Hindi literature and poetry is now available worldwide,” he stated, adding that Hindi is increasingly utilized in the realms of justice, administration, and internet technology, according to an official statement from the Speaker's office.

We are also enhancing translation services for members who prefer to speak in their native languages.”
