Context: The Commission for Scientific and Technical Terminology (CSTT) plays a crucial role in standardizing scientific and technical terminology in Indian languages.

  • Established in 1961, it aligns with the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 by promoting technical education, including engineering and medicine, in Indian languages.
  • CSTT publishes bilingual, trilingual, and multilingual glossaries, dictionaries, and journals, such as Vigyan Garima Sindhu’ and ‘Gyan Garima Sindhu’.
  • The “Shabd” website, launched in March 2024, hosts 322 glossaries with over 18 million headwords across various disciplines like Humanities, Medical Sciences, Engineering, and Agriculture.

The CSTT aims to accelerate its work using AI in the future to promote Indian languages and enhance accessibility.
